I don't have my references with me, but there are several good books on 
writing for structured information.

One to start with - especially the essay by Ginny Redish - is The Nurnberg 
Funnel ed. by John Carroll.

There have also been a number of good articles on the subject in the STC's 
Technical Communication Journal. There is also a list of books on technical 
communication - including several on writing for online systems and/or 
content management on the STC web site -http://www.stc.org/member_pubs.html
