1. The document proposes a trans-field learning system based on multidimensional topic maps to associate knowledge across various fields like physics, chemistry, biology, and more for informal learning.
2. It describes moving from a course-centric to subject-centric approach using topic maps to allow learners to start with any topic and see related knowledge without restrictions.
3. Examples of micro-topic maps are given to show finer details on topics like the definition of work at different levels, and an instruction scenario map linking knowledge and experiment topics.

4. Change from Course-centric to Subject-centric Course-centric portal for online learning (<2007) - easy to start course learning - fragmented knowledge - restrict the range of learning Subject-centric, association-centric portal One can start with any topic, and recorded and evaluated. (<2009) Topic map based trans-field learning portal for informal learning.

11. Taxonomy of topic types. Tracing up and down the hierarchy, one can find out sub-domains to explore.
12. Types of associations inside the fields look to reflect the characteristics of the field. Intra- and Inter-field subject association. Tracing the associations between topic instances is another way to explore subjects.
