Some days ago there has been some traffic in QuaaxTM‘s SVN repo. The initial version of the QuaaxTM Topic Maps syntaxes readers/writers library QuaaxTMIO has been committed (located in the lib directory and inherent part of QuaaxTM from now on). QuaaxTMIO is designed to work against PHPTMAPI. Therefore, it is possible to connect this library which is licensed under LGPL with any PHPTMAPI compatible engine.

Initial version comes with an XTM 2.0 reader. This reader uses a PHP port of Lars Heuer‘s Streaming Topic Maps API. Extended QuaaxTM is ready to be checked out (have a look at the lib’s README file e.g. for prerequisites). More readers and writers e.g. for JTM will follow.

More than two months ago the project has released version 0.51 of QuaaxTM. It is recommended to replace 0.5 by 0.51.

P.S. Some of the readers might wonder why the Topic Maps related posts are in English while others (and this Blog in general) are in German. Well, the answer is simple: The TM community is rather small and international. (Do we suffer from inferiority complex? Definitely not )
