Topic subject table

The following <topicSubjectTable> classifies several topics according to subjects in the previous map. As with any <topicSubjectTable>, the first column is used to specify topics. In this specific example, the second column is used to specify a goal, based on the "goal" subject in the header. The third column is used to specify an operating system. Based on those definitions, the following classifications are made by this table:

• The topics "Configuring cron for efficient startup" and "Allocating raw storage" are each classified by the goal of "performance"; in addition, they are classified by the operating systems "linux" and "unix.
• The topics "Analyzing web logs for service issues" and "Detecting denial-of-service attacks" are each classified by the goal of "reliability"; in addition, they are classified by the operating systems "linux", "unix", and "windows".
• No relationship is defined between subjects in the table, meaning that this table does not define any relationship between the goal of "performance" and the operating systems "linux" or "unix".
