State Information

[Betty L. Harvey]

Tim:

You may want to look at the work that has been done previously
with Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM).  One of the
requirements of an IETM is that it maintains a state table.
Although what you want to do is different information than
and IETM, the concepts are the same.

The information can be maintained and accessed in XML.  The
current DoD IETM specifications are SGML based but it may
give you some ideas (I have to admit the Specs aren't easy
reading |-).  

You can get information on the IETM specs at
http://navycals.dt.navy.mil/ietm.
