How do you structure a .book with an EDD?

Hi all,

I am learning how to convert legacy, unstructured FM documents into structured FM documents and need some help. So, I created a conversion table from my unstructured documents, created the EDD, applied the EDD to the unstructured document to create a structured document and now need to tweak the EDD.

My question is, what is the correct way to layout the EDD rules for a book using multiple document styles? For example: My book contains a title page, TOC, one or more chapters, a glossary of terms, and one or more appendixes (or is that a appendicies?.)

I am thinking the element rule would look something like this:

Element (Container): BOOK
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: TitlePage, TOC, Chapter+, Index, Appendix+

Followed of course by other elements required for the structure. However, I did see an EDD that I am sure was outlined like this (though I can't recall where:)

Element: TitlePage
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah

Element: TOC
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah

Element: Chapter
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah

Element: Index
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah

Element: Appendix
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah

If the second structure is correct, how do you define the Book element? On the Adobe forum, I was told one EDD should be created for all book elements, which makes sense to me.

Okay people, fire away. Remember I am a neophyte in structured FM.

Thanks,


Adam
