Versavant

"Versavant" is the name that has been given to a particular way of describing/disclosing Topic Map Applications (TMAs) in accordance with the draft Topic Maps Reference Model, ISO/IEC 13250-5. Implementations of the Versavant disclosure discipline— "Versavant transparency engines"— can support any combination of TMAs in any single topic map. The merging of even ontologically diverse topic maps can be supported and even automated, without compromising the integrity of the information that each different topic map contributes to the resulting merged topic map.
