  - write
```
void write(TopicMapIF source_topicmap)
    throws IOException
```
    PUBLIC: Writes the given topic map to an implicit implementation dependent destination. The write method will close any resources opened internally. This means that the write method can only be called once if the stream/writer was opened internally.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source_topicmap - The topic map to be exported/written; an object implementing TopicMapIF
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - Thrown if writing the topic map fails.
  - setAdditionalProperties
```
void setAdditionalProperties(Map<String,Object> properties)
```
    PUBLIC: set additional properties to the topic map writer. The set of accepted properties differs per writer implementation, see the specific writer documentation for details on accepted properties.
    
    Parameters:
    
    properties - Additional properties for the writer
