These are the slides for a presentation given at the GCA's Extreme Markup Languages 2000 Conference in Montreal, Canada. The presentation describes Cogitech's content development system and how it uses Topic Maps and XSLT to generate dynamic web sites, and how web sites built on top of Topic Maps can be easily integrated and merged.

The presentation demonstrated how a single Topic Map document can be used to both: 1) aggregate content from a Universe of WWW resources and 2) dynamically control the site map for the website.

The system also demonstrates how XSLT can be used to build a web page for each topic, and how topic occurrences and association types can be used to determine the XSLT stylesheet's rendering and style.
