I've had tremendous trouble trying to figure out how to express [[Product group]]s in generic markup. The idea is that all [[product]]s belong to a [[product group]] and that [[product group]]s can belong to other [[product group]]s. [[tomatoe]]s are [[vegeatable]]s, which are [[food]] etc. | I've had tremendous trouble trying to figure out how to express [[Product group]]s in generic markup.

I was aiming at a generic [[product group]]-element to make the processing software ([[Instructional capital]]) simpler, but I can't get it to work. We could have an generic [[product group]]-element that encapsulates group specific data in a more specific element like: | I was aiming at a generic [[product group]]-element to make the processing software ([[Instructional capital]]) simpler, but I can't get it to work.

Using "ANY"-constraint (can contain any element... or is it even #PCDATA??) can be kind of hazardous for software.. but maybe we just add these specific groups so that each element can contain just one of the available subgroups for this subgroup. | Using "ANY"-constraint (can contain any element... or is it even #PCDATA??) can be kind of hazardous for software.. but maybe we just add these specific groups so that each element can contain just one of the available subgroups for this subgroup. | ||
But this would not allow to define variable relationships required to give everyone their say about [[product substitution]] and [[ | But this would not allow to define variable relationships required to give everyone their say about [[product substitution]] and [[production flow]]... | ||
