Re: Specifying all biz rules in relational data

there is also a lot of "mesh" (non-hierarchical) stuff in the merged glossary and taxonomy stuff that can be found http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/index.html#glosnote

there is some hierarchical between concepts and terms .... and some between terms ... but most of the intra-term stuff is arbritrary mesh.

similarly, the ietf rfc index work
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcietff.html

has rfcs indexed in multple ways ... even with keywords and some keywords being given somewhat hierarchical structure.
