| It does not have to be topic type. It might be represented as a
| stand-alone association. At least that is how I approached faceted
| classifications. Association between a class/category and all
| objects that exhibit this property.
Now I'm lost. How can you make jan an instance of the class of all
inquisitive people, using a class-instance association, without making
a topic type for that class?
| I would not argue with that... but how would you represent a unary
| association in XTM? Sorry - I must have not been following latest
| developments.
This was always possible:
<association>
<instanceOf>
<topicRef xlink:href="#is-inquisitive"/>
</instanceOf>
<member>
<roleSpec>
<topicRef xlink:href="#person"/>
</roleSpec>
<topicRef xlink:href="#jan"/>
</member>
</association>
Or did I misunderstand your question?
