Today Geir Ove and I had our first meeting today where we decided how to approach the uploading of the code and how to organize the source code in the new project. So new code should start to appear in Google Code pretty soon. (I’ll post when it does.)
However, a major part of this work is deciding what will not go up, because over the past decade we have accumulated mountains of cruft. We are making use of this move to throw away lots of stuff that is not needed, and which we will be better off without.
This is the lines of code count on the old source tree:

One surprise here is the C# code. We have a Topic Maps engine written in C# by Graham Moore, that he brought with him when he joined Ontopia back in 2003. It doesn’t belong in the Ontopia project, so if anyone wants it, please let us know, and we’ll give it to you for nothing.
We also have some old Python code, as you can see, including the tmproc Topic Maps engine, an early tolog implementation based on it, plus the old Autogen framework. If anyone wants any of these, please let us know.

Thanks for this information. Yes, I’d very much like to receive Graham’s C# code.
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
I too would like to see Graham’s C# code, if that’s ok?

What does the “3rd gen. equiv” and “scale” columns mean? I would guess that scale somehow approximates the productivity of the language; i.e. how much more code one would have to code in a 1st gen language, but I really can’t understand how you come up with those figures …
I’ll be honest with you: I have absolutely no idea. Like you, I think that the scale is meant to be an approximation of how much you’d have to write in a “1st-generation” language to achieve the same, but, frankly, I think those numbers are bogus.
So, I think we should focus on how many lines we have actually written, and just ignore the rest of the figures. (This is just the output of cloc as produced, with no changes whatsoever made.)
Hi there,
I’d like to take a look at Graham’s C#-based topic map engine, please.
Best regards,
Lars Wilhelmsen
The site came up when we were searching for resources on Topic map in C# Could you please share with the code. We would like to take a look at it.
Thanks in advance.
