Hello Bernard,

I definitely agree with the point that is more problematic to work
with XTM then with something like CTM. We worked both with XTM and
with LTM and for several projects you are just quicker when working
with XTM. LTM and in the future CTM is not that difficult too learn.
Moreover you also can use CTM as AKO ontology layer to auto-generate
full blown Topic Maps. So two ways to shorten development phases.

One of the complaints that we hear quite often from some potential
customers is that "they can't/don't want to live" with XTM. So the
following nice sentence what Robert Barta wrote:

"CTM will define the entry barrier form people coming into a TM market."

might have a good chance.

Maybe the above convinces you to use LTM/AsTMa=/CTM ?
