If you want humans (say, human Subject Matter Experts) to determine whether two subjects are identical or not, use topic maps. If you don't, use RDF. As for concrete examples -- have your marketing department do some research ;-) S. ===== <!-- "Saving civilization through markup." --> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
