- What subjects would a topic map for the postal code where you live include? What information would you use from this service? (2-3 pages)
- What subjects would a topic map for the region where you live include? What information would you use from this service? (2-3 pages)
- What subjects would a topic map for the country where you live include? What information would you from this service? (2-3 pages)
If it sounds like you weren’t given enough room for all the subjects you would want to include, consider that no topic map, dictionary, encyclopedia, etc., is ever complete.
