Re: Modeling question: folders (directories) and files

Is it possible that you could simply describe web pages with subpages? That
is, the "web surface", regardless of what constitutes the underlying
structures on disk.

Then you can use http://schema.org/WebPage (or specializations such
as schema:SearchResultsPage or schema:CollectionPage), and link to subpages
with http://schema.org/hasPart (these being of type schema:WebPage).

Cheers,
Niklas
