Page History

...

Item List Blocks are probably very useful elements to embed in body elements of general purpose pages. A "Topic Page" could then just be a General Purpose page with a set of List Blocks with the above Block Titles.

There is an example of a Topic Page in the new format here: http://mit.edu/meponine/dontindex/ist/beta/topics/software/index.html
There is an example of a Topic Page from the current active site here: http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/software/index.html 

Service Page

A Service page contain two layers:

Service Overview, which contains the following elements:
- Overview text
- How to Obtain
- Price
- Contact Information
Service Detail
- this varies sufficiently from service to service that it has no regular elements

There is an example of a Service Overview in the new layout here: http://mit.edu/meponine/dontindex/ist/beta/services/software/mcsa.html
and Service detail: http://mit.edu/meponine/dontindex/ist/beta/services/software/mcsa-details.html

The same overview page in the currently active website here: http://web.mit.edu/ist/services/software/msca.html
existing service detail here: http://web.mit.edu/ist/services/software/msca-detail.html 

Team Page

A team page is a simple subclass of the General Template with the following body elements:

Mission
0...n Service Offered links
1...n Team Members, each of which has the following elements:
- Team Leader link (links to profile)
- Role
0...n Resource links (links to sub-page or external departmental website)

Team page in the new layout here: http://mit.edu/meponine/dontindex/ist/beta/admin/templates/template08-team-page.html
and an existing team page: http://web.mit.edu/ist/org/admincomputing/

Table Page

A table page has a body with the following elements:

Introduction
1...n Sub-tables, each of which has the following:
- Heading
- 1...n Fields, each of which has:
  - Field Label
  - 0...n Field Values Values

Procedure

A procedure page is the most elaborate of the general pages, as follows:

Page Introduction
0...n Anchor links (ideally automatically generated from the anchored elements)
0...n Procedures, each of which contains:
- Procedure Title
- Procedure introduction
- 1...n Steps, each of which has the following elements:
  - Directions
  - Result
  - 0...1 Image
  - 0...1 Tip
  - 0...1 Warning
  - 0...1 Note
- Procedure conclusion

Steps may have sub-steps, but these are probably not worth codifying as separate elements.
