The idea sounds excellent Berni. Would you please explain a little more about how you see this process working. Is it ... UML (model of a particular sitemap instance) | XMI (interchange of model via XML) | XSLT (xmi2sitemap.xsl) | XML (the sitemap.xmap instance) The Cocoon sitemap probably *is* the model, as you say. However, it can be modelled using something else and then represented as a Sitemap. I probably display ignorance, but who cares if it leads to something useful. I went googling a came across a reliable starting point: Conceptual Modeling and Markup Languages http://xml.coverpages.org/conceptualModeling.html --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
