The procedures we adopted called for a topical Web page for each specification, where all versions of that specification could be located, clearly showing the sequence of versions, what superseded what, when, etc. That sounds like option #2. However, if the consensus is to have a different Web structure, we would only need to amend the procedures to reflect it.

Hi folks,
We are putting more and more documents on the website and I'd like some
feedback on structure.
While we are constrained some by the standard OASIS format, we have some
latitude in "layering" links. I have two options for you to choose
from,
please let me know which you prefer. If nobody provides feedback they I
get to choose, and nobody gets to complain. I am willing to entertain
other suggestions if they are offered. Please indicate your preference
by
October 28, 2002. Thank you!

Option 1:
Pro: All links are at the same level, with only the archive links
connecting to another page of links/documents
Con: Only the most current documents will be posted, superseded
documents
will be removed
Con: To find a document or documents, viewers will need to scroll
through
an increasingly long list.
Option: Create an "archived documents" page and link it from the
Documents
Section similar to the LegalXML.org and CourtXML.org links.

Sample structure:
Homepage Option 1
.
.
.
Documents Section
Detailed list of documents, by document title, with links to source
format
and pdf format
       Document a title     source     pdf
       Document b title, etc.     source     pdf
Archived OASIS LegalXML Member Section Electronic Court Filing
Technical Committee Documents in source format and pdf format in reverse
chronological order (newest on top)
       Document a     source     pdf
       Document b, etc.
       Old Document a     source     pdf
       Old Document b
       Older Document a     source     pdf
       Older Document b
Archive link for LegalXML.org
       Link a
            Document a
            Document b, etc.
       Link b
            Document a
            Document b, etc.
Archive link for Courtxml.org
       Link a
            Document a
            Document b, etc.
      Link b
            Document a
            Document b, etc.
.
.
.

Option 2:
Pro: Viewers will only need to find the subject of their quest from the
list in the Documents Section. This will be a link to a page with all
the
current and superseded documents on the topic created and/or distributed
since the move to OASIS. (Older archive documents will remain in their
respective archive links, as they are now). This will provide a much
shorter list to look through, and consolidate document links together.
Pro: Permits adding narrative created by document author indicating
changes, deadlines, importance, or content of the specific documents
listed
on the topic page.
Con: This will require viewers to go through at least one more layer of
links to get to the desired information.

Sample structure:
Homepage Option 2
.
.
.
Documents Section
List of topics with links to the topic-specific page
     Topic-specific page containing current and superseded documents
      in source format and pdf format in reverse chronological order
(newest on top)
               Document a title     source     pdf
               Document b, etc.
               Old Document a     source     pdf
               Old Document b
               Older Document a     source     pdf
               Older Document b
Archive link for LegalXML.org
     Link a
          Document a
          Document b, etc.
     Link b
          Document a
          Document b, etc.
Archive link for Courtxml.org
     Link a
          Document a
          Document b, etc.
     Link b
          Document a
          Document b, etc.
