NPCL is the Networked Planet Constraint Language, a simple model for defining constraints on a topic map such as the topics that can be used as topic, association, role and occurrence types; what occurrence types a topic type allows, how topics can be combined in associations and so on.

The NetworkedPlanet ontology library has been set up to provide you with sample and starter ontologies to learn from and to use in your own topic map projects. Although it is currently quite small, we will be adding to this library over time.
