Greetings!
I need to inform to all, the following one:
So that the initiative of company INXIGTH has greater
value, I advise to a consultation the page:
http://www.udcc.org/mrf.htm.
Is about the Universal Decimal Classification - UDC.The
structure of scientific, cultural, artistic and
technological knowledge. An initiative of Paul Otlet
and Henry La Fontaine, since 188?.
I think that TopicMap, must call UDC-TopicMap.
The Universal Collective Initiatives are recommended!
They accept my emotions, between brothers!
Happinesses to the all! The World is one!

access

> This option is accessible from a link in the
center of the homepage
>
> Browse articles:
> Biological Sciences Physical Sciences
> Medical Sciences Social Sciences

> Browse using TopicMap, a graphical viewer
>
> An explanation (what's this?) is also available:
>
> "TopicMap" is a special Java applet designed to help
you navigate topics on
> HighWire in a graphical form. The intent is to give
you a sense of context
> while navigating a large, tree-structured database.
>
> When TopicMap is launched, it appears in a separate
window. As it may take
> 60 seconds or more to load, you will want to keep
this separate window open
> to avoid having to reload frequently.
>
> When results are selected (by double-clicking on a
topic with more than
> zero documents), the results show up in the original
browser window from
> which TopicMap was launched. "
