The success of topic maps depends upon having interfaces people will want to use.
Let’s request a one-day workshop on usability prior to TMRA 2010.
An overview of usability studies, techniques and literature. Might be a push in the right direction.
Perhaps a usability (HCI – human-computer interaction) track for TMRA 2011?
With case studies from topic map projects and usability researchers.
Impatient? See: HCI Bibliography : Human-Computer Interaction Resources, a collection of over 57,000 documents, plus recommended readings, link collections, etc.
