Desktop Application
- Fast and reliable
 - Requires Java 1.6
 - Graphical user interface
 - Web browser like look & feel - Topic map browser
 - Graph visualizations of topic maps
 - Extensive collection of tools to manipulate topics and associations
 
Layered representation of knowledge
- Construct the knowledge using several different layers, each containing only part of the knowledge
 - You can view only parts of data and hide parts that don't intrest you
 - Automatic merging of different and even distributed data sources
 - Protect some parts of topic map by allowing only read access
 - Use nested layer stacks to create tree like layer structures
 
Several data storage options
- Memory based topic map for very fast processing of relatively small topic maps
 - Relational database storage makes it possible to use topic maps of virtually unlimited size
 - Relational database storage enables easy usage of remote third party topic maps
 
Import data in several formats
- Imports topic maps in XTM and LTM formats
 - Imports RDF data in RDF(S) and N3 formats
 - Imports OBO flat file format ontologies such as The Gene Ontology
 - Imports any valid XML document with proper XSL converting the XML to XTM
 - Converts and imports any SQL database to a topic map
 - Clipboard import and export of topics and associations
 
Extract topic maps from various different sources
-  Firefox plugin to extract directly from Firefox WWW browser.
- Note some extractors described below doesn't work with Firefox plugin.
 
 - Convert MP3 ID3 metadata to a topic map
 - Convert JPEG metadata to a topic map
 - Convert PDF metadata to a topic map
 - Convert emails and email repositories to a topic map
 - Convert file system structures to a topic map
 - Convert HTML site structure to a topic map
 - Convert IMDB datafiles to a topic map
 - Convert freedb database entries to a topic map
 - Wikipedia extractor and more general MediaWiki extractor
 - Convert Last.fm XML feeds to a topic map
 - Convert BibTeX files to a topic map
 - Convert RIS files to a topic map
 - Convert simple HTML tables to topic map associations
 - Convert simple HTML lists to topic maps
 - Convert simple text documents to topic map occurrences
 - Convert RSS 2.0 feeds to topic maps
 - Microformat extractors
 - Extract topic maps from Flickr
 - Extract topic maps from YouTube
 - Extract topic maps from Digg
 - Extract topic maps from Del.icio.us
 - OpenCalais classifier
 - OpenCyc extractor
 
Analyze topic maps
- Compare topic maps.
 - Clustering coefficient for any topic set including average clustering coefficient of a topic map.
 - Topic map diameter and average path length.
 - Topic map connection count and distribution (Topic map degree distribution).
 - SOM classifier to analyze topics with associations.
 
Publish knowledge
- Export the topic map as a collection of static HTML pages
 - Embedded HTTP server allows you to publish topic maps as a dynamic HTML site.
 - Wandora Piccolo combination allows you to set up a large scale dynamic WWW site based on the topic maps
 - Create and export Lucene search index from any topic map
 - Download and manage subject locator files
 - Build your own topic map application using Wandora's SOAP Web Service
 - Export topic maps as Graph Modeling Language, GraphML, and GraphXML graphs.
 
Generate simple topic map graphs
- Random graph generator
 - Fully connected graph generator
 - Tree graph generator
 - Linear list graph generator
 - Finite group graph generator
 - Platonic solid graph generator
 - Hypercube graph generator
 - Tiling graph generator (square, triangular, and hexagonal tilings)
 - Edge generator
 
Plugin architecture makes it easy to add custom functionality
- Tools that process topic map, for example cleaning or reconstructing data
 - Importing data in different formats, for example from existing relational database
 - Exporting data in different formats
 - Reading and automatic processing of metadata from a collection of files
 - Customized ways to represent the data in the topic map
 - Custom publishing methods
