Learn You Some Erlang For Great Good!
I mention this site as a preface to asking if anyone is working on a topic map implementation in Erlang?
I suppose I have been influenced by Barta’s arguments for a functional approach.
In part because what subjects you see and what properties they possess are determined by what you ask to see.
Not that other approaches have a different answer, they just aren’t as transparent about it.
It is perfectly fine to have a point of view on the world, just don’t confuse your point of view with the world.

PS: The message passing capabilities should also be of interest for distributed as well as non-distributed topic map applications. Imagine a proxy that broadcasts the identity of the subject it represents.
