The recent Wikileaks story drew my attention to the web services offered by Amazon. Knew they were there but had not really paid as much attention as I should.
I don’t know the details but be aware that there is a one year free service tier to introduce new users to the cloud.
Curious if anyone is already offering topic map services with someone like Amazon Web Services?
Subject identity management as a service seems like a likely commodity in the cloud.
Data sets may expose different identity APIs as it were depending upon the degree of access required.
Not on Amazone, but I have played with the idea of adding a topic maps layer in the Microsoft Azure table storage which should be pretty straight forward.

Cool! Very interested in learning more!
I assume (forgive my ignorance) Microsoft Azure table storage is per account/application?
Have you thought about a topic map layer that bridges Microsoft Azure tables held by different accounts/applications? (Assuming appropriate permissions.)
Thinking there could be a service model that enables navigation of tables for any number of purposes. Even if it were simply to provide subject identity for those tables to enable re-combination by others.
