If I devise a tree structure to hold a library of materials I want to
have it meaningful to users, such as architects or builders and they
are familiar with specific standards but I am worried that if I borrow
or derive from a schema I could risk infringing on the intellectual
property rights of the organizations who devised the original
standard.

Do I need to worry?
