Topic map diameter tells how many links need to be followed at most to reach any topic in the topic map from any other node. In other words, it is the diameter of the graph where each topic is a node and each association is an edge in the graph. Wandora has a tool to calculate this diameter.

Note that the graph might not be connected, that is, there is at least one pair of topics where you cannot reach one from the other by following associations. In this case the tool used to calculate topic map diameter gives the greatest diameter of the connected componets in the topic map.
