xml represendation of the folder structure

[Hu, Yiguang]

I am trying to find if I have to create a folder and *.psml using the
following structure. Is there a standard xml reprentation of the
following jetspeed folder and its folder.metadata and psmls?  I mean can
I use an xml file/or db table instead of the folder structure? Or is
there an existing tool to translate between the folder structure and a
xml ? Thanks. Yiguang

                                    *.psml
                                    folder.metadata
                                    folder1/
                                                *.psml
                                                folder.metadata
                                                folder11/*
                                    ......
 
                                    foldern/
                                                *.psml
                                                folder.metadata
