An emerging technology that, I think, fairly explicitly addresses the
issues of synchronizing and notifying is that of syndication. There is a
bonus gained from syndication: other forms of agent-based manipulation of
the information changes are facilitated. For instance, building topic maps
becomes an exercise in mapping RDF <item> contents to XTM documents. Those
XTM documents can then be mapped back to RDF in a different form than RSS
and now you have the ability to merge syndications, forming ever-larger,
ever more powerful topic maps for communities of interest. (01)
