Here are some key features of "Wandora":

Layered representation of knowledge:
· Construct the knowledge using several different layers, each containing only part of the knowledge
· You can view only parts of data and hide parts that don't intrest you
· Automatic merging of different and even distributed data sources
· Protect some parts of topic map by allowing only read access
· Use nested layer stacks to create tree like layer structures

Several data storage options:
· Memory based topic map for very fast processing of relatively small topic maps
· Relational database storage makes it possible to use topic maps of virtually unlimited size
· Relational database storage enables easy usage of remote third party topic maps

Import data in several formats:
· Imports topic maps in XTM and LTM formats
· Imports RDF data in RDF(S) and N3 formats
· Imports OBO flat file format ontologies such as The Gene Ontology
· Imports any valid XML document with proper XSL converting the XML to XTM
· Converts and imports any SQL database to a topic map
· Clipboard import and export of topics and associations

Publish knowledge:
· Export the topic map as a collection of static HTML pages
· Embedded HTTP server allows you to publish topic maps as a dynamic HTML site.
· Wandora Piccolo combination allows you to set up a large scale dynamic WWW site based on the topic maps
· Create and export Lucene search index from any topic map
· Download and manage subject locator files
· Build your own topic map application using Wandora's SOAP Web Service
· Export topic maps as Graph Modeling Language, GraphML, and GraphXML graphs.

Generate simple topic map graphs:
· Random graph generator
· Fully connected graph generator
