Topics may in addition to the properties defined above also have types, instances, supertypes, and subtypes, represented by means of associations using the subject identifiers defined in 7.2 and 7.3. www.isotopicmaps.org /sam/sam-model   (7567 words)

Linguistics The linguist is concerned with languages, past and present, in all their diversity, but one ultimate goal of the discipline is to discover the common principles underlying all human language, and in this way to contribute to the understanding of human nature itself. The principal divisions of the subject are these: phonetics and phonology (the structure of the sound system of language), morphology and syntax (the structure of words and sentences), and semantics and pragmatics (the relation of the forms of language to their meanings and uses in communication). Linguistics includes precise descriptive studies of particular languages, comparative and historical examinations of the way languages change through time, and theoretical studies of a more abstract character as well. www.wisc.edu /pubs/home/archives/gopher/lettsci94/00000142.html   (1481 words)

XML Topic Maps (XTM) 1.0 Since subject identity forms the basis for merging topic maps and interchanging semantics, authors are encouraged to always indicate the subject identity of their topics in the most robust manner possible, in particular through the use of standardized ontologies expressed as published subject indicators.

Newcomb, and chaired at the date of delivery of this specification by Steve Pepper and Graham Moore. www.topicmaps.org /xtm/1.0   (7677 words)
