I have read it, worked with I can't help you with the Dao of Groves, but I do try to maintain a collection of references to Grove exposition. See: "Groves, Grove Plans, and Property Sets in SGML/DSSSL/HyTime" http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/topics.html#groves This topical section contains references to a number of shorter contributions -- which may or may not bring enlightenment. See, for example, some clarifying comments by Steve Newcomb in September 1999: http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/newcombGroves19990908.html It's my belief that software based upon the "grove paradigm" is being used with good success to solve some very thorny problems. To see the demos (and applications) is pretty cool. It's also true that "groves" represents a high level of abstraction, and one still needs to (a) invent the property set for the corresponding representations, and (b) decide whether the theoretical base of SGML/DSSSL/HyTime/XML is an ideal modeling heuristic. As I understand the situation, the Grove constructs do not conform entirely to prevailing "object oriented" paradigm, which does not privilege a (markup-based) distinction between "content" and "not-content." Whatever possible inconcinnities lurk here (arguably a feature not a bug), I do witness some interesting grove-based applications. Most are large scale, for solving large-scale problems.
