Umm.. maybe. The issue raised by Didier about trans/including improper fragments (eg, content sans ad) is a fairly old problem. The *content* has to assert rights with regards to reuse. That a topic map can point to a bit of content and include a traversal rule might enable better navigation, but the assertion of right to copy still should be a locally set policy which the implementor of the trans/including system must respect by law. Policy before code; always. Just because it can be built doesn't mean it is legal to use. Note the cases with cable descramblers.

Isn't this precisely where topic maps come in? Simon North.
