Ancient brewing traditions and techniques have been passed
generation to generation on farms throughout remote areas of
northern Europe. With these traditions facing near extinction,
author Lars Marius Garshol set out to explore and document the lost
art of brewing using traditional local methods. Equal parts
history, cultural anthropology, social science, and travelogue,
this book describes brewing and fermentation techniques that are
vastly different from modern craft brewing and preserves them for
posterity and exploration. Learn about uncovering an unusual strain
of yeast, called kveik, which can ferment a batch to completion in
just 36 hours. Discover how to make keptinis by baking the mash in
the oven. Explore using juniper boughs for various stages of the
brewing process. Test your own hand by brewing recipes gleaned from
years of travel and research in the farmlands of northern Europe.
Meet the brewers and delve into the ingredients that have kept
these traditional methods alive. Discover the regional and
stylistic differences between farmhouse brewers today and
throughout history.
The papers in this volume were presented at TMRA 2007, the
International Conference on Topic Maps Research and Applications,
held October 11-12, 2007, in Leipzig, Germany. TMRA 2007 was the
third conference in an annual series of international conferences
dedicated to Topic Maps in science and industry. The motto of TMRA
2007 was "Scaling Topic Maps." Taken literally the motto implies
developing Topic Maps approaches that scale to large data and user
volumes. This is a very real and useful research problem which is
addressed by many of the contributions to the conference. But there
is an even broader interpretation of the motto: wide adoption of
Topic Maps in academia and industry. This is an equally important
problem, and one that the TMRA conference series exists to help
solve. And there is a more fanciful view on the motto. To "scale"
can also mean to climb, so for the attendees the conference
provided a way to "scale the mountain of Topic Maps." In all these
ways TMRA 2007 helped to scale Topic Maps.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings
of the Second International Conference on Topic Map Research and
Applications, TMRA 2006, held in Leipzig, Germany in October
2006.
The 15 revised full papers and 6 revised short papers presented
together with 1 invited lecture were carefully selected during two
rounds of reviewing and improvement from a total of 52 submissions.
The papers are organized in topical sections headed creation and
visualization of topic maps, applied topic maps in industry,
administration and sciences, standards related research, leveraging
the semantics, technical issues of topic mapping, and social
software with topic maps.
