Re: [codelist] Fwd: ICG report from Rome

In my post below I was thinking of external referencing mechanisms 
... such as a CVA file pointing to a code list member of a code list set.

Note that with some kind of internal self-referencing mechanism, a 
user could possibly package a collection of genericode files that 
point to each other to describe a multi-dimensional taxonomy.  Each 
branch would be a genericode code list and then one or even multiple 
links from each row could branch out to other genericode code lists.

For example, a program's user interface menu subsystem could be 
described by a set of genericode files with only one branch per row, 
where the linking is to other genericode files in the code list set.

Or something along those lines.  There would need to be some concept 
of a "start here" in the collection (or something simple as a 
convention of using the first of the set).

Something to think about.
