- A long standing issue regarding merging of occurrence and name types in RDBMS topicmaps has been fixed (issue 409)
- Statistics of a topicmap can now be obtained from the new StatisticsIndexIF index
- TMXMLWriter now supports setting prefixes beforehand
- Bugs fixed:
- Issue 447: The PostgreSQL specific searcher implementation is broken due to deprecated function use
- Issue 448: Topicmap statistics should be available though API
- Issue 449: TMXMLWriter should support user defined prefixes
- Issue 411: TopicIF should have a getOccurrencesByType(TopicIF type) method
- Issue 409: MergeUtils fails to merge names of name and occurrences types that do not have a subject identifier
New in Ontopia 5.1.1 (Oct 26, 2010)
- The main new feature in this release is the support for geotagging in Ontopoly. Briefly, if the longitude and latitude occurrences are added to a topic type, all topics of that type will get a button to open a geotagging window. In this window a position on a map can be chosen, and this position will be written into the occurrences.
- Further, pluggable support for authorization and authentication was added to Ontopoly, as described in the wiki.
- Beyond that this release features mainly the following bug fixes:
- Issue 48: Ontopoly repository out of sync with the underlying topic map repository
- Issue 105: Instance list in Ontopoly no longer displayed as tree when there is no tree

- Issue 294: tolog did not optimize rule sets
- Issue 302: Cost estimator in value-like predicate caused errors
- Issue 305: Merging away sort and display topics in LTM caused errors
- Issue 318: Save icon visible with RDBMS backend
