This research project explains the birth and evolution of an information repository called XTMdb whose basic principles are intended to integrate complementary tagging languages such as: SKOS; MODS, Dublin Core and/or GILS with the paradigm of topic maps. Once the information processing was completed, the repository was tested by means of an efficient information retrieval process which allows the information resources description to be extended in real time. This allowed to obtain greater expressivity, independence in relation to the tagging language, as well as improved searches since the search can be centred on the topic concept. Certain other aspects remain outstanding such as: the topic maps paradigm can provide added value visual information, the development of a support system decision is easy and soft-computing techniques can solve a considerable amount of problems in relation to the information retrieval process.
