Lars Marius Garshol has announced the availability of the Ontopia source code!

We have now started loading the Ontopia source code into Subversion over at the Ontopia Google Code project. So far, what we have is the Java source code for the product plus the tests. We also have a guide to building the code.

I have just installed the Wordpress Topic Maps plugin for WordPress and it appears to be pumping out an XTM feed quite nicely. Cool! All I need to do now is configure some PSIs for the tags (oh joy) and tidy up the display of the link a bit. The map will improve over time as I slice and dice my way through some of the static content remaining on the site.

Thank you Trond K. Pettersen.Read more

I have finally bitten the bullet and have moved away from the predominantly static site which I have been maintaining since 2000. I decided to use WordPress as a platform due to the vast number of themes and plugins available to it as well as the ease of maintenance and hosting. I have also moved the Blogger blog into WordPress as well. Now, that didn't take long did it?Read more
