I think that is the case precisely.  Although Topic Maps now have the
alternative subject maps and the bifurcation begins anew.   The CG list
has Conceptual Graphs as a notation and I often wonder if all of these
don't have some commons for standardization.   The problem, of course,
is to get a commons that has the simplicity and easy applicability that
it gets used quickly because it is useful quickly.  Otherwise, it keeps
baking.

I wonder whether one of the functions of a low-level general purpose
modeling technology such as HyTime (and RDF and XLinks?) is to expose
the building blocks that *should* have been standardized. So HyTime has
lead to Topic Maps which are increasingly inflential and credible.
