I am trying to get a handle on this issue. Can you post an example or
link of WinFS XML(?) or triples? I have googled around but only find
blog entries with no examples. Specifically, what does a 'folder' within
a 'folder' look like? Is a page the end, or in other words is it the
content?
For me, it is easier to represent it as a light hierarchy and pull in
extra metadata/content when needed. I keep minimal metadata in the
hierarchy and then more metadata/content for each node is kept in a
separate file. The extra metadata further references the content
assigned in a region element -- so a page is basically a 'folder' of
content pieces (content assigned at the folder level cascades down to
the pages in that folder). For example here is the hierarchical
representation:
<site xmlns="http://livestoryboard.com/schemas/lsb"; generate="1"
label="Home"
id="demo_root" css="default.css" xsl="default" name="DEMO"
index_page="site_ind">
<page generate="1" id="site_ind" label="Welcome" name="Welcome.html"/>
<folder generate="1" label="Destinations" id="f1034364271" onnav="1"
name="Destinations" index_page="p1958461133">
<page generate="1" id="p1958461133" label="Introduction to
Destinations" name="destinations.html"/>
<folder generate="1" label="Sailing" id="f611591524" onnav="1"
name="Sailing" index_page="p1211385515">
<page generate="1" id="p1211385515" label="Introduction to
Sailing" name="sailing.html"/>
</folder>
</folder>

And here is extra metadata from a single page above (named p1958461133.xml):
