Maiana is a service to host, explore, and share topic maps. Maiana has been developed in Topic Maps Lab. Topic Maps Lab also hosts the service at the moment. Wandora is capable to export topic maps to Maiana, and to import topic maps from Maiana. Both features use an API of Maiana and require a personal API key.
Importing topic map from Maiana
A topic map is imported from Maiana to Wandora with a menu option File > Import > Import topic maps from Maiana.... Menu option opens an import dialog window. Window has three input fields. Write your personal API key to the API key field. You'll get your API key from your personal page at Maiana. Next you can write down the owner and identifier of imported topic map, or, you can press the Fetch list button and Wandora downloads a list of available topic maps from Maiana. And you can pick up the topic maps you wish to import. You can also select multiple topic maps and Wandora imports each to separate layers.
Additional notes
Wandora's topic map model is not fully TMDM compatible and importing topic map from Maiana to Wandora may change the topic map slightly. These changes include
- In Wandora, a topic can carry only one occurrence per type and scope. If topic map contains multiple occurrences with same type and scope, only one of them is imported to Wandora.
- Wandora supports no URL resource occurrences. Wandora converts URL occurrences to topics and creates an association between URL resource topic and the original occurrence carrier.
- Wandora supports only one base name. If topic has more than one base name in Maiana, only one is imported to Wandora.
- In Wandora, a topic can carry only one variant name per scope. If topic map contains many variant names with identical scope, only one imports to Wandora.
