Construction of Semantic Associative Network based on Topic Maps

It is extremely important that the semantic relation between the information resources for organizing and hunting for information. Many semantic connections are lost between online information resources and off-line information resources. Topic map is a discipline-specific form of concept map, which is generally a representation of concepts about the information and relationship rather than of knowledge itself. In this paper, we use the semantic relationship between information resources based on topic maps to connect the digital information resources into a World-Wide-Web of semantic links.
