term-application

Type(s): Issue

Description
- Do we need to define the term 'application' formally?
Opinion
- I think it would help to state that 'an application is some computer process that provides functionality where that functionality utilises a tm processor and the topicmap(s) it manages.' An application itself does not manage the storage or structural integrity of topicmaps. This is done by the TM Processor.' - Scope: Graham Moore
Resolution
- No, current definition is sufficient.
