Charlie,

very interesting project and something along the lines I have been thinking 
about for many years. I started by extending a data dictionary model to 
cater for knowledge objects (my PhD dissertation) which lead very quickly 
into how to describe the various complex objects involved and their 
relationships to each other, with the user and with the application(s). 
This led into how to explain what is going on in a knowledge based system 
and in turn this required the addition of much more content than required 
for the application itself, content of many formats to provide reliable 
explanations of the application processing, the 'thinking'.

Over the past decade, I have been focussing on oral history as a mechanism 
for capturing the type of background information and the use of Toulmin 
argument structures for representing the various relationships. We have 
been working of publishing interviews with eminent visual artists from 
Australia and South Korea using a simple topic map to provide the 
navigation structure intra and inter interviews (http://cultconv.com).

There is a great book, Mapping Hypertext, which details immediately the 
issue with writing a hypertext style book (the book is written as a 
hypertext). You very quickly become 'lost in hyperspace' and lose the 
narrative.

Throughout all of my research career, the issue that continually crops up 
is context. I think this is the crucial component to keep things 
understandable. Yet no agreed understanding of context exists yet we all 
use it, manipulate it, etc.
