RE: [xml-dev] What is the best way to approach the structuring of invent

["Graham Hannington" <graham_hannington@fundi.com.au>]

I'd ask myself the question: am I developing an XML vocabulary to store 
(or exchange) "per-item" inventory data, or an XML vocabulary to report 
summary ("number of...") inventory data, or a mix of both (for example, 
reports - or data exchanges - that might include both summary and per-item 
information)? I would suggest that the design of a "per-item" vocabulary 
might be in some sense distinct from the design of a "summary" vocabulary 
(although, again: a report - as an XML document - that includes summary 
data might also include per-item information).
