For topicmap import/export you can install this plugin:
http://download.deepamehta.de/dm48-import-export-0.5.jar

Just drop the plugin to the bundle-deploy folder.
No server restart required.

You can export topicmaps as JSON or SVG then.
The JSON can be imported to other DM installations.

For details about this plugin see:

> Can a topic map built with Deepamehta be exported to other Topic Maps software, and can a topic map built with other Topic Maps tools be introduced into the Deepamehta application?

No.
Export/import from/to 3rd-party applications is not yet supported.

Just the SVG can be opened/edited with tools like Inkscape.

All data (topics, associations, topicmaps, ...) are stored in the deepamehta-db folder. For backup/restore it is sufficient to handle this folder.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Let me give you some hints about the relationship between topicmaps and topics/associations:

Topics and associations exist independently from topicmaps. Every topic/association (as stored in the DB) is ready to appear in *any* topicmap. If a topicmap is deleted the topics/associations it contains are *not* deleted.

Note the difference between the "Hide" and "Delete" commands available for a topic/association. Hide removes it just from the topicmap (but leave it in the DB). Delete removes it from the DB (and thus from all topicmaps).

The DB represents a knowledge base in form of a (possibly very large) semantic network. A topicmap represents an individual *working context* that shows relevant parts of the knowledge base.

Thank you for your questions!
