If your documents are structured, you could use a version attribute to specify the applicable version(s) at the topic level, where each version of the topic is stored separately.
For topics applicable to all versions, the version attribute would be set to "All". If a topic is applicable to two or more versions (but not all), each applicable version number would be listed in the version attribute. This approach would allow you to assemble any instance of a complete structured document by specifying the applicable topic version number(s) to be included in that instance of the document. If none of the versions of a given topic are applicable to a particular instance of the entire document, it would be dropped from that instance. Obviously, this approach would require one or more additional attributes for each topic for the purpose of specifying the sequencing of the topics within an assembled document instance. The other advantage of this approach is that it would permit users (as well as authors) to individually retrieve an applicable version of any topic by simply specifying the applicable version number of the topic of interest. ================================== Dan Emory & Associates FrameMaker/FrameMaker+SGML Document Design & Database Publishing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
