I am developing a combined Adobe Flex and AIR application to manage and organize knowledge, based on topic maps: http://www.quesucede.com/page/show/id/polishedcode. Furthermore, the actual topic map engine was developed with ActionScript 3 and uses SQLite as a backing store (for object graph serialization and de-serialization). With Adobe AIR, I am hoping to provide a vastly improved user experience. Specifically, the availability of powerful graph visualization libraries that allow you to visually layout the relationships between topics contribute to making the whole topic map experience very intuitive and appealing.
