You've gotten a lot further than I have, I'd be interested in taking a
look at the schema you defined, although I can't imagine it's particularly
complex.

I've not used CategoryCategory pages so not sure how they work. I had
thought that it'd be interesting to extract TM/RDF data from Wiki pages.
I don't know a great deal about TMs, but each Wiki page is generally a
'topic'.
I'd like to do the same with mailing list threads.
The background to this is Mikes 'xml wikipedia' idea. It struck me that
if such a thing did get off the ground then the contents should be
stored as markup to ensure its longevity.
Cheers,
