Well, you need a 'Data Subject Domain', a 'Data Model' and maybe a 'target use' of the data before going to XML. I thought about XML some time ago re the 'Chess Study' field. There is quite a rich data-structure here, and of course it involves data, diagrams and text. 'Studies' are published in 'publications' by 'authors', and consist of a position, a stipulation, and a solution with mainline, sidelines and comments. A study can possibly attract 'prizes' in 'tourneys', republication, thematic typing, comments by judges. Additionally, studies can attract busts (where they are found to be impossible or just flawed), and even corrections. Sometimes the alleged 'bust' is wrong. Further studies can be related to other studies, as in: "X is anticipated by Y" "X is a better setting of theme T than Y" So I think there is quite a bit to go at here, and of course there is HvdH's CD of endgame studies for the raw material, not to mention many books on the subject. Do let me know what you think: I was contemplating including this project in a set of projects over here in the UK. Guy
