Wandora is capable to export Topic Maps as Graph Modeling Language (GML) format. The export starts with File > Export > Export GML graph.... Exported graph may be visualized with Yed graph editor application for example.

[edit] Export details

  • Each topic is exported as a graph node.
  • Each binary association is converted to an edge between player nodes. Edge's label is association type.
  • If association has more than two players, an extra intermediate node is created and each player is linked to the intermediate node with an edge.
  • If association has only one (or none) player, it is not exported.
  • Each occurrence is exported as a node and an edge between occurrence text and topic node.
  • Subjects, scopes, association roles, and variant names are not exported.

Exported nodes and edges have no coordinates in graph.

[edit] Configuring the export

To configure the GML export hold CTRL key down while starting the export. Configuration dialog allows you to select whether or not to

  • Export class-instance relations as edges.
  • Export occurrences as edges. Wandora creates a node for occurrence text and connects it to the topic node.
  • Export n-ary (n>2) associations as edges. Wandora creates an inter-mediator node, and connects all n-ary association players to the inter-mediator node.
  • Export directed or undirected graph. This really doesn't matter much as you you have no way of controlling the association direction.
