The way I express is this is that topic maps can "embrace and
extend" ;-) any existing markup scheme. See e.g.:
http://www.etopicality.com/presentations/KT_2002/omnivore.html
tmtk, the topic map toolkit available at www.gooseworks.org, includes an
implementation of this approach, based on the draft ISO Reference Model
(the RM) for topic maps.
