database transformation

[m***@gmail.com]

hy, i´m new in this topic map technology but i was thinking how to
transform a ms access database directly into a .xtm file (without
exporting the db to xml and transfom it in a .xtm file via xslt)
i´ve been thinking to follow these steps using any script language
like asp:
1- read all the db tables and write the topics
2- read all the rows and wrie the ocurrences
3- and the associations? how can i detect then? via the foreign key??
4- and the roles??

got any clue?
tks!!

This should be posted in comp.text.xml or on one of the XML or Topic
Maps mailing lists, rather than in comp.text.sgml, as XTM is an XML
format.
