The Art and Science of Creating Knowledge

QueSucede.com is a CMS based on the concept of topic maps. My name is Brett Kromkamp and I developed the actual topic map engine and web application myself, scratching the proverbial itch and also providing an example of eating one's own dog food... I used to have a blog, but I prefer a topic map-based methodology for organizing my thoughts, ideas and projects instead of the simple chronological approach that blogs force upon you.

The application is still under active development and a lot of functionality is still pending implementation.
