One of the reprises about topic maps is that all the information about a subject can be gathered to a single location..
I am already suffering from information glut! A gluttonous topic maps solution is going to find more information about my subjects? That I didn’t even know existed? No thanks!
But: topic maps can gather all user-defined relevant information about a subject to a single location.
Using subject identity topic maps can reliably filter out irrelevant, repetitive or even useless information about a subject. Which leaves you with a modest and digestible amount of information.
