I'm starting to think that I need to put two things in: 1) RDF or "library" data (Dublin Core or derivative thereof) 2) Header links. Due to the nature of the data that I am presenting, the site doesn't read like a book; there would be no FORWARD links available since going forward would generally be selecting from a list. However, I could use BACK to return to a list, although it would mean that I would have to preserve state and send the original query data on to the detailed records in order to do this. INDEX could go back to the beginning of a programme, or even the front page of the site. I suppose that as long as I am consistent in the way I do this, it shouldn't be too bad, although it would be nice to have standard functions for these.
