Hi, I'm a little out of my depth here, but I found the following while
perusing the Python XML SIG.
"Final CD Text for ISO/IEC 13250, Topic Navigation Maps" -
http://www.ornl.gov/sgml/sc34/document/0008.htm - links to full text at the
bottom of the page. It seems to cover a lot of the same ground. From the
intro -
"This International Standard provides a standardized notation for
interchangeably representing information about the structure of information
resources used to define topics, and the relationships between topics. A set
of one or more interrelated documents that employs the notation defined by
this Standard is called a Topic Navigation Map (TNM). In general, the
structural information conveyed by TNMs includes:
* - groupings of addressable information objects. Objects so grouped are
said to form a topic (or, are said to share the semantics of the topic).
* - relationships between topics ( associations )."
It's XML, so fits with Zope's wonderful adherence to standards, and there's
a Python project working on it -
