Claudio, yes, I agree I think the third one is what I actually miss but unfortunatelly knowledge presentation can't work without first two (facet citation order, facet filing order). The first two I solve as classifications normally do by having facet indicators that I can manage easily e.g. I have facet indicators that based on alphabets letters. so facet that has to be filed first is noted A and the last is e.g Z, within each facet I have decimal espressive notation for hierarchies. (This is then appropriatelly tagged in a database) so filing order goes A1 A1111 A123 E11 E54-A1 K1 K123 K123-E3-A2 As you can see the facet citation order is the reverse... e.g. K123-E123-A123 My database tool 'knows' that. But I would like to know how to record this when binding it in XML. I can easily define XML schema based on my data but that is not the point if you want to make vocabulary shareable. So far my understanding is that XFML is simply not designed to work with knowledge classifications.
