Context and Large-Scale Information Sharing with Topic Maps

Abstract
Two major concerns in creating large-scale Topic Maps applications are: first, the role and capture of context within a specific topic map, and second, how the Topic Maps paradigm - specifically the XTM specification - allows the linking and efficient use of Topic Maps deployed on a massive scale, such as the Internet, to support extremely large-scale information sharing. These two subjects initially seem to be separate concerns. However, upon reflection and further discussion, it is clear that they are intertwined and closely related to the issue of scalability.
