Tell us more about this, specifically the linking of topic maps together. 
Most of the obvious links I find for topic maps deals with the internal 
self-contained usage scenarios, not interoperability.

Also, are there defined protocols for exchanging chunks of these 
topicmap/thesaurus structures, or is it assumed that if I want to examine 
your topic map I'll download the whole thing?
