RE: DSpace container architectuer discussion [2]

[Tansley, Robert]
The black arcs represent "containership" - e.g., the <HTML> object (OBJ-004)
is contained by object OBJ-002.  The red arcs are essentially a "has_type"
relationship.  However, as you've probably guessed, these diagrams are more
brainstorming jots to prompt discussion than an attempt at formalising the
model.

"as you've probably guessed" my question was a friendly teaser.
In dealing with the artifacts I try to evaluate:
(1) process-ability
(2) plug-ability (merge-ability)
(3) recovered schema

Your example illustrate (1) by showing how to 'decompose' HTML bundle into
objects. To illustrate (2) we could try to merge the diagrams at
http://www.mit.edu/~rtansley/scrapbook/object-models/objmodel-2001-05-16-01.

http://www.mit.edu/~rtansley/scrapbook/object-models/objmodel-2001-05-16-02.
gif and 9 sentences of your comments, and create the process-able artifact.
Recovered schema (3) is the most valuable item. It offers insights into the
representation complexity, bias and potential for re-use. The schema of your
example is a connectivity map between following sets: {Arc}; {Object};
[Content]; {Type}; {Sentence}.
