If multiple such tools implement the topic maps standard, there is some interoperability between the tools, and the developer may integrate these tools to meet the requirements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although this paper presents the strengths, weakness, and interoperability of two topic maps creation tools (i.e. Ontopia and Wandora), the findings can be applied to integrating other topic maps creation tools if they implement the topic maps standard.
