authoring-process

- Manual Topic Map Authoring

Types:

is a authoring-process

Comment:: schema and process driven: the application designer defines what should happen (example: when a customer is to be added, so must first be added a topic of type person with a basename, then an association is-customer-of with this topic already playing the role customer)
Comment:: may or may not be more accurate than automatic generation from external sources
Comment:: free-style: author is god -- anything goes
issue:: choice of notation
Comment:: use of development tools -- version management -- multiuser authoring
issue:: choice of rigor
Comment:: time-consuming process (oh, yes!), needs some understanding of the problem domain -- human resource issue
Comment:: pushed and pulled content: learn about new fact, pull in complementary data
