Primary/Secondary Elements

A coherent structure of pages. Eventually this will be expressed in an "information architecture" site map diagram.

The elements on the 1st level of the list form the 'primary navigation' that typically appears on a toolbar at the top of the page. The elements on the 2nd/3rd levels of the list are the 'secondary navigation' and may appear in a drop down menu on the primary toolbar, or as links inside the landing page each primary element, etc.
