[Sigia-l] Site map generator?

[Donna Maurer]

Because I haven't yet found one that can even partly infer a site 
structure from an existing website. 

And because when I'm doing content inventories (I'm usually working 
on sites that have fallen apart pretty badly and have little structure 
beyond a basic hierarchy and loads of contextual links) even I have 
difficulty determining structure. And this is one things that humans are 
meant to be good at ;)

I think that if a site does have a good structure (and this doesn't mean 
just a basic hierarchy, but consistently used internal structure), a tool 
may be able to do it. But most sites over a couple of pages are pretty 
poorly structured.

So maybe I should have said "I have not yet found a tool that can 
determine or infer structure and I have researvations about whether it 
is actually possible to do so for the types of situations in which we are 
using these tools" ;)
