Let me second Martin, and also Anthony, on that.
"Modeling Principles" seems too weak and potentially confusing.
"Topic Map Metamodel" sounds great to me.=20

BTW just discovered http://www.metamodel.com/
Seems to me that it defines quite neatly what metamodels are or should
be.

Happy New Year

Bernard

|
|must be that it is the Topic Map Metamodel. What else can you call
|something
|that is a "platform for the definition of TM Models"?
|
|To me Topic Map Modelling Principles would be a guide to "How to write
|topic
|map models", not a set of rules that models can be built on.
