Ark, Folders and Pages
Data is now an Ark (usage).
Folders are now also a distinct usage from page.
A page does not have subordinate pages.
The ark and Folders can have subordinate Folders and Pages.
One thing is wrong, I'm thinking. In the Ark display, folders and pages should be listed separately. (Once I add cabinets, folders will not have subfolders.)
Another observation: By unfolding pages into ark, cabinets, folders and pages, its getting to be a lot more like type rather than usage. ;-(

I had a role/page, "Data" which was the root role/page for my ark/Wiki. I am now identifying how I use that role/page in a property. The property name is usage (Actually, DataSetUsage).
So Data is now an ark/realm/role. Folders are realm/roles. Pages are now strictly roles--you can not add a page to another page.
I also plan to introduce more usages: cabinets and drawers. These will also be realms. But you can't put a cabinet in a drawer or in a folder, and you can't put a drawer in a folder. OK?
Hi Bill,
I've looked up "Ark", and other than a large boat for transporting pairs of each species, or a smaller vessel for storing stone tablets, these turned up:
Archival Resource Key
Acquisition of and Reasoning about Knowledge
Is either of those the one you mean?
Thanks!

Jerry,
Ark is a term from Norm's Rolonics Theory. As most of my work with this theory has been developing a knowledge repository, that's how I generally think of the Ark.
However, I know there are active elements. Indeed when I add page types, we will begin to see more activity within the Ark, which should eventually lead to a reasoning system. So "Acquisition of and Reasoning about Knowledge" would be the correct definition.
Thanks!
Jerry,
