Content for multiple publications

[rdanner]

If I am supporting multiple publications is it advisable to put them all in the same workspace or in separate work spaces? 

If I want to relate documents from different publications, is it no true that i must put them in the same workspace?  The JCR spec is strange in that it is unclear how notes in different workspaces work together (it reads a little bit like alternate universes).

On page 35  of the spec issue last year it gives an example where two different workspaces have notes with the same UUID – but not the same node?

What if i update one of the notes? Sorry Im out to lunch on this.

Ok

The deal is that this is fairly obvious to those know the spec.  Like I said, the spec is a bit confusing in its explaination of this, but its basic stuff.

Workspaces are alternate universes.  You cannot draw a reference from one workspace to another.  You can have point in time copies of a given note from one workspace in another workspace. 

JCR workspaces are idea for creating structures like primary store, and versioning store.

In the case of my question the multiple publications would reside in one workspace.  That workspace may correspond with other workspaces for tracking versioning or auditing.
