How much will people pay for the information?
How many people need it?
Do the parts of it have a logical structure?
Do all the parts have the same look and feel?

ALSO: Are people reading it? Are the right people reading it? Are there signs that these people's behaviour is being influenced by what they read?

Choose a format to suit the information

Resist the temptation to put everything into hypertext (HTML, web pages or WinHelp). Instead consider using hypertext to find, explain and then launch other files.

The information can then be in a format suitable to the information type and the frequency of its use.

Tagging documents

Structured document formats like DITA, DocBook, and Solbook are characterized by deeply nested tags and a multitude of schema constraints.
Unstructured tagging languages like HTML, on the other hand, are wide open.
Some people think that it is a contest between the two types:
Read the summary [more..]
OR the full article:
blogs.sun.com/.../do_we_really_need_structured.
The answer may lie in the correct choice of tagging for particular information. More uses information should mean more structure to that information (and more tags). More information and more users of the information should also mean more structure.
