Authoring

On several occasions Topic Maps have to be authored manually. This is a highly intellectual process during which the author has to concentrate on quality and coherence of the authored topic map. While XML editors might facilitate the creation of XTM encoded maps, the numerous tags distract from the essential content.

AsTMa=

AsTMa= is the authoring language discussed here. The '=' stands for facts which authors state. You may first want to read the tutorial before looking at the language definition or the discussion of various application cases below.

Language Documents

• AsTMa= Tutorial
• AsTMa= Tutorial (based on XTM)
• AsTMa= Language Definition (based on XTM)
• AsTMa= Language Issues
