Ontopia Workshops


Topic Map Project Kick-Start

The Project Kick-Start Workshop is a chance not only to learn about topic maps from the experts but also to begin work on a topic map project with the guidance of one of our consultants. Rather than "teach-and-leave", the Project Kick-Start Workshop gives you the chance to learn basic and advanced topic map concepts in three days of tutorials and workshops; put them to use in a project; and then receive follow-up consultancy to ensure that your project is successful.

The workshop begins with a one-day, non-technical overview of the topic map standard and of the resources required to implement a topic map application in your organisation. The following two days are a combination of formal presentation and hands-on workshops with a focus on creating a real-world solution. You will learn both the basic concepts of the topic map standard and more advanced concepts to help your project succeed. We then provide two additional days of consultancy, which may be taken at any point within 90 days of the original class - we will review your topic map and work with you to identify opportunities to enhance the solution.

The Project Kick-Start Workshop is available in conjunction with either of the following options:

  • A 90-day evaluation license of the Ontopia Knowledge Suite.
  • Space on the Ontopia server to store your own topic map and to browse it with our Navigator web interface.
