The hub describes a hierarchical structure for a document object, and then allows you to associate different digital manifestations (e.g., page images, locations in an SGML transcription file) with nodes in the structural description, and also associate administrative metadata (IP rights, source/provenance, etc.) with the individual manifestations. As the work is mainly oriented towards supporting the library/archival worlds' needs to disseminate digitized primary resources, it may not exactly fit the bill for what you're describing, but you can feel free to have a look and make suggestions. Information on the full project is available at: http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/moa2/ Look in particular at the information in the MOA2 Document Type Definition section, including the brief tutorial and DTD. (The DTD on the web site is not the most recent version, but it's not all that different from the current one). Jerome McDonough -- jmcdonou@l... | (......) Library Systems Office, 386 Doe, U.C.
