2007/05/01: QuaaxTM 0.3 is released!

QuaaxTM is a small Topic Maps engine, an implementation of the core interfaces of PHPTMAPI. PHPTMAPI is based on the TMAPI specification and provides a standardized API for PHP 5 to access and process data held in a topic map.
QuaaxTM uses MySQL with InnoDB as storage engine and therefore benefits from transaction support and referential integrity. We hope that the popular PHP-MySQL-environment and the standardized API can help to emerge ISO 13250 Topic Maps into a wider area, especially the PHP community.

Features:

• Supports duplicate suppression for the topic properties topic names, occurrences, subject locators and subject identifiers
• Supports the Topic Maps Data Model
• Supports automerging for topics ($topic->mergeIn(TopicInterface $other))
• Stores multiple topic maps

ToDos:

• Merging topic maps ($topicmap->mergeIn(TopicMapInterface $othermap))
• Flexible configuration
