Two options that both are fairly easy;

   xSiteable - http://xsiteable.org/
   Let's you create topic maps (XTM) with various ontologies, importing
   and simple merging of XTM files, hierchal support out of the box, but
   somewhat limited (like, no of those scoping, only on import)

   TM4Jscript - http://tm4jscript.sourceforge.net/
   A full-blown TM engine written in JavaScript. Comes with an easy to
   use TM editor that supports Mozilla/Gecko and IE.

Enjoy.
