+ + + + 1 + + SiSU - SiSU information Structuring Universe / Structured information, +Serialized Units - Description,
Ralph Amissah + + + + 2 + + SiSU an attempt to describe + + + + 3 + + 1. Description + + + + 4 + + 1.1 Outline + + + + 5 + + SiSU is a flexible document preparation, generation publishing +and search system.1 + + + 1 + + This information was first placed on the web 12 November 2002; with +predating material taken from <http://www.jus.uio.no/lm/lm.information/toc.html> +part of a site started and developed since 1993. See document metadata +section <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/metadata.html> +for information on this version. Dates related to the development of +SiSU are mostly contained within the Chronology section of this +document, e.g. <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_chronology> + + + + + 6 + + SiSU ("SiSU information Structuring Universe" or +"Structured information, Serialized Units"),2 is a Unix +command line oriented framework for document structuring, publishing +and search. Featuring minimalistic markup, multiple standard outputs, a +common citation system, and granular search. + + + 2 + + also chosen for the meaning of the Finnish term "sisu". + + + + + 7 + + Using markup applied to a document, SiSU can produce plain text, +HTML, XHTML, XML, OpenDocument, LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an SQL +database with objects3 (equating generally to paragraph-sized +chunks) so searches may be performed and matches returned with that +degree of granularity (e.g. your search criteria is met by these +documents and at these locations within each document). Document output +formats share a common object numbering system for locating content. +This is particularly suitable for "published" works (finalized texts as +opposed to works that are frequently changed or updated) for which it +provides a fixed means of reference of content. + + + 3 + + objects include: headings, paragraphs, verse, tables, images, but not +footnotes/endnotes which are numbered separately and tied to the object +from which they are referenced. + + + + + 8 + + SiSU is the data/information structuring and transforming tool, +that has resulted from work on one of the oldest law web projects. It +makes possible the one time, simple human readable markup of documents, +that SiSU can then publish in various forms, suitable for +paper4, web5 and relational database6 +presentations, retaining common data-structure and meta-information +across the output/presentation formats. Several requirements of legal +and scholarly publication on the web have been addressed, including the +age old need to be able to reliably cite/pinpoint text within a +document, to easily make footnotes/endnotes, to allow for semantic +document meta-tagging, and to keep required markup to a minimum. These +and other features of interest are listed and described below. A few +points are worth making early (and will be repeated a number of times): + + + 4 + + pdf via LaTeX or lout + + + + 5 + + currently html (two forms of html presentation one based on css the +other on tables), and PHP; potentially structured XML + + + + 6 + + any SQL - currently PostgreSQL and sqlite (for portability, +testing and development) + + + + + 9 + + (i) The SiSU document generator was the first to place +material on the web with a system that makes possible citation across +different document types, with paragraph, or rather object citation +numbering7 a text positioning system, available for the +pinpointing of text, 1997, a simple idea from which much benefit, and +SiSU remains today, to the best of my knowledge, the only +multiple format e-book/ electronic-document system on the web that +gives you this possibility (including for relational databases). + + + 7 + + previously called "text object numbering" + + + + + 10 + + (ii) Markup is done once for the multiple formats produced. + + + + 11 + + (iii) Markup is simple, and human readable (with a little +practice), in almost all cases there is less and simpler markup +required than basic html. In any event the markup required is very much +simpler than the html, LaTeX, [lout], structured XML, ODF +(OpenDocument), PostgreSQL or SQLite feed etc. that you can have +SiSU generate for you. + + + + 12 + + (iv) SiSU is a batch processor, dealing with as many files +as you need to generate at a time. + + + + 13 + + (v) Scalability is dependent on your file system (in my case +Reiserfs), the database (currently Postgresql and/or SQLite) and your +hardware. + + + + 14 + + SiSU Sabaki8 (or just SiSU) is the provisional +name given to the software described here that helps structure +documents for web and other publication. The name SiSU is a +loose anagram for something along the lines of "SiSU is +structuring unit", or "SiSU, information structuring +unit" or the more descriptive "Structured information, +Serialized Units" or "simple - information structuring +unit" or the more descriptive "Structured information, +Serialized Units" or what it may be directed towards +"semantic and information structuring universe" +,9 tongue in cheek, only just. Guess I'll get away with +"Simple - information Structuring Universe". SiSU +is also a Finnish word roughly meaning guts, inner strength and +perseverance.10 + + + 8 + + SiSU Sabaki, release version. Pre-release version SiSU +Scribe, and version prior to that SiSU nicknamed Scribbler. +Pre-release versions go back several years. Both Scribbler and Scribe +(still maintained) made system calls to SiSU's various parts, +instead of using libraries. + + + + 9 + + A little universe it may be, but semantic you may have a hard time +getting away with, given the meaning the word has taken on with markup. +On a document wide basis semantic information may be provided, which +can be really useful, (and meaningful, especially) if you have a large +document set, and use this with rss feeds or in an sql database etc. On +a markup level, I have little inclination to add semantic markup +formally beyond references, title, author [Dublin Core entities? +addresses?] etc. Actually this deserves a bit of thought possibly use +letter tags (including letter alias/synonyms for font faces) to create +a small set of default semantic tags, with the possibility for per +document adjustments. Will seek to permit XML entity tagging, within +SiSU markup and have that ignored/removed by the parts of the +program that have no use for it. + + + + 10 + + "Sisu refers not to the courage of optimism, but to a concept of +life that says, 'I may not win, but I will gladly give my life for what +I believe.'" Aini Rajanen, Of Finnish Ways, 1981, p. 10.
+<http://www.humanlanguages.com/finnishenglish/rlfs.htm> +
"Every Finn has his own pet definition. To me, sisu means +patience without passion. But there are many varieties of sisu. Sisu +can be a sudden outburst or it can be the kind that lasts. A man can +have both kinds. It is outside reason. It is something in the soul. It +comes from oneself. For instance, it makes a soldier do things because +he himself must, not because he has been told." Paavo Nurmi
+<http://personalweb.smcvt.edu/tmatikainen/finnishtraditions.htm> + + + + + 15 + + SiSU was born of the need to find a way, with minimal effort, +and for as wide a range of document types as possible, to produce high +quality publishing output in a variety of document formats. As such it +was necessary to find a simple document representation that would work +across a large number of document types, and the most convenient way(s) +to produce acceptable output formats. The project leading to this +program was started in 1993 (together with the trade law project now +known as Lex Mercatoria) as an investigation of how to +effectively/efficiently place documents on the web. The unified +document handling, together with features such as paragraph numbering, +endnote handling and tables... appeared in 1996/97. SiSU was +originally written in Perl,11 and converted to Ruby, +12 in 2000, one of the most impressive programming languages +in existence! In its current form it has been written to run on the +Gnu /Linux platform, and in particular on Debian, +13 taking advantage of many of the wonderful projects that are +available there. + + + 11 + + <http://www.perl.org/> + + + + 12 + + <http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/> + + + + 13 + + <http://www.debian.org/> + + + + + 16 + + SiSU markup is based on requiring the minimum markup needed to +determine the structure of a document. (This can be as little as saying +in a header to look for the word Book at a specified level and the word +Chapter at another level). SiSU then breaks a document into its +smallest parts (at a heading, and paragraph level) while retaining all +structural information. This break up of the document and information +on its structure is taken advantage of in the transformations made in +generating the very different output types that can be created, and in +providing as much as can be for what each output type is best at doing, +e.g. LaTeX (professional document typesetting, easy conversion to pdf +or Postscript), XML (in this case, structural representation), ODF +(OpenDocument [experimental]), SQL (e.g. document search; representing +constituent parts of documents based on their structure, headings, +chapters, paragraphs as required; user control).14 + + + 14 + + where explicit structure is provided through the use of tagging +headings, it could be reduced (still) further, for example by reducing +the number of characters used to identify heading levels; but in many +cases even that information is not required as regular expressions can +be used to extract the implicit structure. + + + + + 17 + + From markup that is simpler and more sparse than html you get: + + + + 18 + + far greater output possibilities, including html, XML, ODF +(OpenDocument), LaTeX (pdf), and SQL; + + + + 19 + + the advantages implicit in the very different output possibilities; + + + + 20 + + a common citation system (for all outputs - including the relational +database, search results are relevant for all outputs); + + + + 21 + + For more see the short summary of features provided below. + + + + 22 + + SiSU processes files with minimal tagging to produce various +document outputs including html, LaTeX or lout (which is converted to +pdf) and if required loads the structured information into an SQL +database (PostgreSQL and SQLite have been used for this). SiSU +produces an intermediate processing format.15 + + + 15 + + This proved to be the easiest way to develop syntax, changes could +be made, or alternatives provided for the markup syntax whilst the +intermediate markup syntax was largely held constant. There is actually +an optional second intermediate markup format in YAML <http://www.yaml.org/> + + + + + 23 + + SiSU is used in constructing Lex Mercatoria <http://lexmercatoria.org/> +or <http://www.jus.uio.no/lm/> +(one of the oldest law web sites), and considerable thought went into +producing output that would be suitable for legal and academic writings +(that do not have formulae) given the limitations of html, and +publication in a wide variety of "formats", in particular in relation +to the convenient and accurate citation of text. However, the +construction of Lex Mercatoria uses only a fraction of the features +available from SiSU today, vis generation of flat file +structures, rather than in addition the building of ("granular") SQL +database content, (at an object level with relevant relational tables, +and other outputs also available). + + + + 24 + + 1.2 Short summary of features + + + + 25 + + (i) markup syntax: (a) simpler than html, (b) mnemonic, +influenced by mail/messaging/wiki markup practices, (c) human readable, +and easily writable, + + + + 26 + + (ii) (a) minimal markup requirement, (b) single file marked up +for multiple outputs, + + + + 27 + + notes: + + + + 28 + + * documents are prepared in a single UTF-8 file using a minimalistic +mnemonic syntax. Typical literature, documents like "War and Peace" +require almost no markup, and most of the headers are optional. + + + + 29 + + * markup is easily readable/parsed by the human eye, (basic markup is +simpler and more sparse than the most basic html), [this may also be +converted to XML representations of the same input/source document]. + + + + 30 + + * markup defines document structure (this may be done once in a header +pattern-match description, or for heading levels individually); basic +text attributes (bold, italics, underscore, strike-through etc.) as +required; and semantic information related to the document (header +information, extended beyond the Dublin core and easily further +extended as required); the headers may also contain processing +instructions. + + + + 31 + + (iii) (a) multiple outputs primarily industry established and +institutionally accepted open standard formats, include amongst others: +plaintext (UTF-8); html; (structured) XML; ODF (Open Document text)l; +LaTeX; PDF (via LaTeX); SQL type databases (currently PostgreSQL and +SQLite). Also produces: concordance files; document content +certificates (md5 or sha256 digests of headings, paragraphs, images +etc.) and html manifests (and sitemaps of content). (b) takes advantage +of the strengths implicit in these very different output types, (e.g. +PDFs produced using typesetting of LaTeX, databases populated with +documents at an individual object/paragraph level, making possible +granular search (and related possibilities)) + + + + 32 + + (iv) outputs share a common numbering system (dubbed "object +citation numbering" (ocn)) that is meaningful (to man and machine) +across various digital outputs whether paper, screen, or database +oriented, (PDF, html, XML, sqlite, postgresql), this numbering system +can be used to reference content. + + + + 33 + + (v) SQL databases are populated at an object level (roughly +headings, paragraphs, verse, tables) and become searchable with that +degree of granularity, the output information provides the +object/paragraph numbers which are relevant across all generated +outputs; it is also possible to look at just the matching paragraphs of +the documents in the database; [output indexing also work well with +search indexing tools like hyperesteier]. + + + + 34 + + (vi) use of semantic meta-tags in headers permit the addition of +semantic information on documents, (the available fields are easily +extended) + + + + 35 + + (vii) creates organised directory/file structure for +(file-system) output, easily mapped with its clearly defined structure, +with all text objects numbered, you know in advance where in each +document output type, a bit of text will be found (e.g. from an SQL +search, you know where to go to find the prepared html output or PDF +etc.)... there is more; easy directory management and document +associations, the document preparation (sub-)directory may be used to +determine output (sub-)directory, the skin used, and the SQL database +used, + + + + 36 + + (viii) "Concordance file" wordmap, consisting of all the words +in a document and their (text/ object) locations within the text, (and +the possibility of adding vocabularies), + + + + 37 + + (ix) document content certification and comparison +considerations: (a) the document and each object within it stamped with +an md5 hash making it possible to easily check or guarantee that the +substantive content of a document is unchanged, (b)version control, +documents integrated with time based source control system, default RCS +or CVS with use of $Id: sisu_description.sst,v 1.25 2007/08/23 12:22:36 +ralph Exp $ tag, which SiSU checks + + + + 38 + + (x) SiSU's minimalist markup makes for meaningful +"diffing" of the substantive content of markup-files, + + + + 39 + + (xi) easily skinnable, document appearance on a project/site +wide, directory wide, or document instance level easily +controlled/changed, + + + + 40 + + (xii) in many cases a regular expression may be used (once in +the document header) to define all or part of a documents structure +obviating or reducing the need to provide structural markup within the +document, + + + + 41 + + (xiii) prepared files may be batch process, documents produced +are static files so this needs to be done only once but may be repeated +for various reasons as desired (updated content, addition of new output +formats, updated technology document presentations/representations) + + + + 42 + + (xiv) possible to pre-process, which permits: the easy creation +of standard form documents, and templates/term-sheets, or; building of +composite documents (master documents) from other sisu marked up +documents, or marked up parts, i.e. import documents or parts of text +into a main document should this be desired + + + + 43 + + there is a considerable degree of future-proofing, output +representations are "upgradeable", and new document formats may be +added. + + + + 44 + + (xv) there is a considerable degree of future-proofing, output +representations are "upgradeable", and new document formats may be +added: (a) modular, (thanks in no small part to Ruby) another +output format required, write another module.... (b) easy to update +output formats (eg html, XHTML, LaTeX/PDF produced can be updated in +program and run against whole document set), (c) easy to add, modify, +or have alternative syntax rules for input, should you need to, + + + + 45 + + (xvi) scalability, dependent on your file-system (ext3, +Reiserfs, XFS, whatever) and on the relational database used (currently +Postgresql and SQLite), and your hardware, + + + + 46 + + (xvii) only marked up files need be backed up, to secure the +larger document set produced, + + + + 47 + + (xviii) document management, + + + + 48 + + (xix) Syntax highlighting for SiSU markup is available +for a number of text editors. + + + + 49 + + (xx) remote operations: (a) run SiSU on a remote server, +(having prepared sisu markup documents locally or on that server, i.e. +this solution where sisu is installed on the remote server, would work +whatever type of machine you chose to prepare your markup documents +on), (b) generated document outputs may be posted by sisu to remote +sites (using rsync/scp) (c)document source (plaintext utf-8) if shared +on the net may be identified by its url and processed locally to +produce the different document outputs. + + + + 50 + + (xxi) document source may be bundled together (automatically) +with associated documents (multiple language versions or master +document with inclusions) and images and sent as a zip file called a +sisupod, if shared on the net these too may be processed locally to +produce the desired document outputs, these may be downloaded, shared +as email attachments, or processed by running sisu against them, either +using a url or the filename. + + + + 51 + + (xxii) for basic document generation, the only software +dependency is Ruby, and a few standard Unix tools (this covers +plaintext, html, XML, ODF, LaTeX). To use a database you of course need +that, and to convert the LaTeX generated to PDF, a LaTeX processor like +tetex or texlive. + + + + 52 + + as a developers tool it is flexible and extensible + + + + 53 + + SiSU was developed in relation to legal documents, and is strong +across a wide variety of texts (law, literature...). SiSU +handles images but is not suitable for formulae/ statistics, or for +technical writing at this time. + + + + 54 + + SiSU has been developed and has been in use for several years. +Requirements to cover a wide range of documents within its use domain +have been explored. + + + + 55 + + Some modules are more mature than others, the most mature being Html +and LaTeX / pdf. PostgreSQL and search functions are useable and +together with ocn unique (to the best of my knowledge). The XML +output document set is "well formed" but largely proof of concept. + + + + 56 + + 1.3 How it works + + + + 57 + + SiSU markup is fairly minimalistic, it consists of: a (largely +optional) document header, made up of information about the document +(such as when it was published, who authored it, and granting what +rights) and any processing instructions; and markup within text which +is related to document structure and typeface. SiSU must be able +to discern the structure of a document, (text headings and their levels +in relation to each other), either from information provided in the +instruction header or from markup within the text (or from a +combination of both). Processing is done against an abstraction of the +document comprising of information on the document's structure and its +objects,16 which the program serializes (providing the object +numbers) and which are assigned hash sum values based on their content. +This abstraction of information about document structure, objects, (and +hash sums), provides considerable flexibility in representing documents +different ways and for different purposes (e.g. search, document +layout, publishing, content certification, concordance etc.), and makes +it possible to take advantage of some of the strengths of established +ways of representing documents, (or indeed to create new ones). + + + 16 + + objects include: headings, paragraphs, verse, tables, images, but +not footnotes/endnotes which are numbered separately and tied to the +object from which they are referenced. + + + + + 58 + + 1.4 Simple markup + + + + 59 + + SiSU markup is based on requiring the minimum markup needed to +determine the structure of a document. (This can be as little as saying +in a header to look for the word Book at a specified level and the word +Chapter at another level). SiSU then breaks a document into its +smallest parts (at a heading, and paragraph level) while retaining all +structural information. This break up of the document and information +on its structure is taken advantage of in the transformations made in +generating the very different output types that can be created, and in +providing as much as can be for what each output type is best at doing, +e.g. LaTeX (professional document typesetting, easy conversion to pdf +or Postscript), XML (in this case, structural representation), ODF +(OpenDocument), SQL (e.g. document search; representing constituent +parts of documents based on their structure, headings, chapters, +paragraphs as required; user control).17 + + + 17 + + where explicit structure is provided through the use of tagging +headings, it could be reduced (still) further, for example by reducing +the number of characters used to identify heading levels; but in many +cases even that information is not required as regular expressions can +be used to extract the implicit structure. + + + + + 60 + + 1.4.1 Sparse markup requirement, try to get the most out of markup + + + + 61 + + One of its strengths is that very small amounts of initial tagging is +required for the program to generate its output. + + + + 62 + + This is a basic markup example: + + + + 63 + + +basic markup example, text file - an international convention +18 + + + 18 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/markup/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980.sst> +output provided as example in the next section + + + + + 64 + + +view basic markup, as it would be highlighted by vim editor +19 + + + 19 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980.sst.html> +as it would appear with syntax highlighting (by vim) + + + + + 65 + + Emphasis has been on simplicity and minimalism in markup requirements. +Design philosophy is to try keep the amount of markup required low, for +whatever has been determined to be acceptable output.20 + + + 20 + + seems there are several "smart ASCIIs" available, primarily for +ascii to html conversion, that make this, and reasonable looking ascii +their goal

<http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/> +
<http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/> + + + + + 66 + + SiSU's markup is more minimalistic and simpler than (the +equivalent) html and for it, you get considerably more than just html, +as this preparation gives you all available output formats, upon +request. + + + + 67 + + 1.4.2 Single markup file provides multiple output formats + + + + 68 + + For each document, there is only one (input, minimalistically marked +up) file from which all the available output types are +generated.21 + + + 21 + + These include richly laid out and linked html (table or css +variants), PHP, LaTeX (from which pdf portrait and landscape +documents are produced), texinfo (for info files etc.), and PostgreSQL +and/or SQLite. And the opportunity to fairly easily build additional +modules, such as XML. See the examples provided in this document. + + + + + 69 + + Eg. the markup example: + + + + 70 + + +original text file - an international convention 22 + + + 22 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/markup/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980.sst> + + + + + 71 + + +view as syntax would be highlighted by vim editor 23 + + + 23 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980.sst.html> + + + + + 72 + + Produces the following output: + + + + 73 + + +Segmented html version of document 24 + + + 24 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980/toc.html> + + + + + 74 + + +Full length html document 25 + + + 25 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980/doc.html> + + + + + 75 + + +pdf landscape version of document 26 + + + 26 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980/landscape.pdf> + + + + + 76 + + +pdf portrait version of document 27 + + + 27 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980/portrait.pdf> + + + + + 77 + + +clean tex ascii version of document 28 + + + 28 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980/plain.txt> + + + + + 78 + + +xml sax version of document 29 + + + 29 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980/sax.xml> + + + + + 79 + + +xml dom version of document 30 + + + 30 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980/dom.xml> + + + + + 80 + + +Concordance 31 + + + 31 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980/concordance.html> + + + + + 81 + + (and in addition to these: PostgreSQL, SQLite, texinfo and +YAML 32 versions if desired) + + + 32 + + discontinued for the time being + + + + + 82 + + 1.4.3 Syntax relatively easy to read and remember + + + + 83 + + Syntax is kept simple and mnemonic.33 + + + 33 + + SiSU markup syntax, an incomplete summary: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup_table/doc.html#h200306> +

Separating code from content makes large scale +changes to output appearance trivial, and permits the easy addition of +new output modules. + + + 34 + + the program that generates the documents + + + + + 91 + + 1.7 Object citation numbering, a text or object positioning / citation +system - "paragraph" (or text object) numbering, that remains same and +usable across all output formats by people and machine + + + + + 92 + + Object citation numbering is a simple object (text) positioning and +cition system that is human relevant and machine useable, used by +SiSU for all manner of presentations, and that is available for +use in all text mappings. It is based on the automated sequential +numbering of objects (roughly paragraphs, (headings, tables, verse) or +other blocks of text or images etc.). The text positioning system (in +which I claim copyright) is invaluable for publishing requiring the +citing text across multiple output formats, and for the general mapping +of text within a document: + + + + 93 + + in html, html not being easily citeable (change font size, or use a +different browser and the page on which specific text appears has +changed), and + + + + 94 + + across multiple formats being common to all output formats +html/xml/pdf/sql output, + + + + 95 + + the results of an sql search can just be "live" citation references to +the documents in which the text is found, much like +an index (see image examples provided). 35 + + + 35 + + <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/1.html#search> + + + + + 96 + + I claim copyright on the system I use which is the most basic of all, +numbering all text in headings and paragraphs sequentially (with tables +and images being treated as a single paragraph) and only +footnotes/endnotes not following this numbering, as their position in +text is not strictly determined, (a change from footnotes to endnotes +would change their numbering), footnotes instead "belong" to the +paragraph from which they are referenced, and have sequential numbers +of their own. + + + + 97 + + SiSU has a paragraph numbering system, that remains the same +regardless of the output format. This provides an effective means of +citation, pinpointing text accurately in all output formats, using the +same reference. This is particularly useful where text has to be +located across different output formats - for example once html is +printed the number of pages and pages on which given text is found will +vary depending on the browser, its settings the font size setting etc. +Similarly SiSU produces pdf in different forms, eg. on the +example site Lex Mercatoria as portrait and landscape documents - here +too page numbering varies, but paragraph numbering is the same, vis +a vis all versions of the text (portrait and landscape pdf and the +html versions of the text, and as stored (with "paragraphs" as records) +to the PostgreSQL or SQLite database). + + + + 98 + + These numbers are placed in the text margins and are intended to be +independent of and not to interfere with authors tagging. [The citation +system (object citation numbering system, automated "paragraph +numbering") which is automatically generated and is common and +identical across all document formats] The paragraph numbering system +is more accurately described as an (text) object numbering system, as +headings are also numbered... all headings and paragraphs are numbered +sequentially. Endnotes are automatically numbered independently and +rather "belong" to the paragraph from which they are referenced, as an +endnote does not (necessarily) form a part of a documents sequence, +(they may be produced as either endnotes or footnotes (or both +depending on what output you choose to look at - if you take the +segmented html version document provided as an example, you will find +that the endnotes are placed both at the end of each section, and in a +separate section of their own called endnotes, and these are +hyper-linked)). An attractive feature of providing citation numbering +in this way is that it is independent of the document structure... it +remains the same regardless of what is done about the document +structure. + + + + 99 + + The rules have been kept very simple, unique incremental object +citation numbers are assigned to headings, paragraphs, verse, tables +and images. It is possible to manually override this feature on a per +heading or comment basis though this should be used exceptionally, it +may be of use where there a substantive text, and the addition of a +minor comment by the publisher that should not be mapped as part of the +text. + + + + 100 + + The object citation number markers contain additional numbering +information with regard to the document structure, that can be used for +alternative presentations, including such detail as the type of object +(heading, paragraph, table, image, etc.), numbered sequentially. + + + + 101 + + An advantage is that the numbering remains the same regardless of +document structure. + + + + 102 + + Text object ("paragraph") numbering is the same for all output versions +of the same document, vis html, pdf, pgsql, yaml etc. + + + + 103 + + In the relational database, as individual text objects of a document +stored (and indexed) together with object numbers, and all versions of +the document have the same numbering, the results of searches may be +tailored just to provide the location of the search result in all +available document formats. + + + + 104 + + Note: there is a bug in the released behaviour of object citation +numbering, (not certain when it was introduced) tables should be +numbered, ie each table gets an ocn, required amongst other things for +relational database. This will be corrected in a future release. +Citation numbering of existing documents that contain tables will +changed. + + + + 105 + + 1.8 Handling of Dublin Core meta-tags making use of the Resource +Description Framework + + + + 106 + + SiSU is able to use meta tags based on the Dublin +Core36 and Resource Description Framework37 + + + 36 + + <http://dublincore.org/> + + + + 37 + + <http://www.w3.org/RDF/> + + + + + 107 + + This provides the means of providing semantic information about a +document, both as computer processable meta-tags, and as human readable +information that may be of value for classification purposes. + + + + 108 + + This information is provided both in html metatags, and (where +available) under the section titled "Document Information - MetaData", +near the end of a document, for example in the segmented html version +of this text at: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/metadata.html> + + + + 109 + + 1.9 Easy directory management + + + + 110 + + 1. Directory file association, skins and special image management, made +simpler.38 + + + 38 + + The previous way was directory associations for file output were set +up in the configuration file. The present system is a more natural way +to work requireing less configuration. + + + + + 111 + + The last part of the name of the work directory in which markup is +being done, or rather from where SiSU is run in order to +generate document output, is used in determining the sub-directory name +for output files, that is created in the document output directory. +This provides a rather easy way to associate documents e.g. of a given +subject, or by owner. + + + + 112 + +      /www/docs

Similar rules are used in the creation of sql type databases +(though they can be overridden). + + + + 114 + + There are a couple of further associations with these directories. + + + + 115 + + Directory wide skins. + + + + 116 + + Directory specific images. + + + + 117 + + 2. If there is a "directory skin", that is a skin of the same name as +the directory, it is used in the generation of the documents within it, +rather than the default skin, unless the document has a specific skin +associated with it. + + + + 118 + + a. default skin (always available) + + + + 119 + + b. directory skin (precedence over default if exists) + + + + 120 + + c. document skin (takes precedence wherever document requests a +specific skin) + + + + 121 + + Skins are defined in the document skin directory and if a directory +association is desired a softlink made to the relevant skin. Skins +(directory association auto load) auto load skin if a directory skin +exists of same name as directory stub, (and there is no specific doc +skin) + + + + 122 + + 3. If the working directory has within it a sub-directory called +image_local, the images within that directory are used for references +to images, that are not part of the default site build. + + + + 123 + + 1.10 Document Version Control Information + + + + 124 + + The possibility of citing an exact document version. + + + + 125 + + Permits the inclusion of document version control information to the +document body and metatags.39 This provides a much more +certain method of referring to the exact version of a particular +document, (assuming that the document is from a trusted source, that +will retain earlier versions of a document).40 + + + 39 + + from a version control system such as CVS + + + + 40 + + The version control system must be run, so the version number is +obtained, prior to the SiSU document generation, and subsequent +posting of the document. + + + + + 126 + + This information (where available) is provided under the section of the +document titled "Document Information - MetaData", near the end of a +document, for example in the segmented html version of this text at: +<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/metadata.html> + + + + 127 + + 1.11 Table of contents + + + + 128 + + SiSU produces a rudimentary a table of contents based on +document headings. + + + + 129 + + 1.12 Auto-numbering of headings + + + + 130 + + Headings can be automatically numbered, (and automatically named for +hyper-linking) + + + + 131 + + 1.13 Numbering and cross-hyperlinking of endnotes + + + + 132 + + SiSU can automatically number footnotes/endnotes. This is the +default operation where no number is provided. + + + + 133 + + Footnotes/endnotes may also be manually numbered. Where a number, or +numbers are provided for a footnote/endnote, this does not increment +the automatic footnote/endnote number counter. + + + + 134 + + In the html output footnotes/endnotes are cross-hyper-linked (to their +reference point and vice versa). In th pdf output footnotes are linked +from their reference point only. + + + + 135 + + 1.14 "Skinnable" + + + + 136 + + SiSU is skinnable, on a site-wide, directory-wide and per +document basis, so different looking versions of things may be produced +with little difficulty. There is a default skin which may be modified, +as the background site skin, and each working directory may have a skin +associated with it, as may each individual document. The hierarchy of +application is document, directory, then site... ie if a document skin +exists it gets precedence. + + + + 137 + + Whilst it is skinnable, the default output styles are selected to work +across the widest possible range of document types. + + + + 138 + + 1.15 Multiple Outputs + + + + 139 + + From markup that is simpler and more sparse than html you get: + + + + 140 + + far greater output possibilities, including multiple html types, XML +(different structured types), LaTeX (pdf landscape, portrait), and SQL +(Postgresql or SQLite or other); + + + + 141 + + the advantages implicit in these very different output +possibilities;41 + + + 41 + + e.g. LaTeX (professional document typesetting, easy conversion to +pdf or Postscript), XML (in this case, structural representation), SQL +(e.g. document set searches; representation of the constituent parts of +documents based on their structure, headings, chapters, paragraphs as +desired; control of use) + + + + + 142 + + a common citation system + + + + 143 + + As many output formats/presentations as one cares to write modules for +- several types of html (e.g. structure based on css, or structure +based on tables); LaTeX/pdf and Lout/pdf; pgsql other +databases easily added; yaml... + + + + 144 + + 1.15.1 html - several presentations: full length & segmented; css +& table based + + + + 145 + + Most documents are produced in single and segmented html versions, +described below: + + + + 146 + + The Scroll (full length text presentations) + + + + 147 + + The full length of the text in a single scrollable document.42 +As a rule the files they are saved in are named: doc or more +precisely doc.html + + + 42 + + CISG <http://www.jus.uio.no/lm/un_contracts_international_sale_of_goods_convention_1980/doc> +

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sqlite> + + + + 65 + + Relational database features retaining document structure and +citation introduced 15th July 2002 + + + + + 188 + + This is one of the more interesting output forms, as all the structural +data for the documents are retained (though can be ignored by the user +of the database should they so choose). All site texts/documents are +(currently) streamed to four pgsql database tables: + + + + 189 + + one containing semantic (and other) headers, including, title, +author, subject, (the Dublin Core...); + + + + 190 + + another the substantive texts by individual "paragraph" (or +object) - along with structural information, each paragraph being +identifiable by its paragraph number (if it has one which almost all of +them do), and the substantive text of each paragraph quite naturally +being searchable (both in formatted and clean text versions for +searching); and + + + + 191 + + a third containing endnotes cross-referenced back to the +paragraph from which they are referenced (both in formatted and clean +text versions for searching). + + + + 192 + + a fourth table with a one to one relation with the headers table +contains full text versions of output, eg. pdf, html, xml, and ascii. + + + + 193 + + There is of course the possibility to add further structures. + + + + 194 + + At this level SiSU loads a relational database with documents +broken in to their smallest logical structurally constituent parts, as +text objects, with their object citation number and all other +structural information needed to construct the structured document. +Text is stored (at this text object level) with and without elementary +markup tagging, the stripped version being so as to facilitate ease of +searching. + + + + 195 + + Because the document structure of sites created is clearly defined, and +the text object citation system is available for all forms of output, +it is possible to search the sql database, and either read results from +that database, or just as simply map the results to the html output, +which has richer text markup. + + + + 196 + + The combination of the SiSU citation system with a relational +database is pretty powerful, giving rise to several possibilities. As +individual text objects of a document stored (and indexed) together +with object numbers, and all versions of the document have the same +numbering, complex searches can be tailored to return just the +locations of the search results relevant for all available output +formats, with live links to the precise locations in the database or in +html/xml documents; or, the structural information provided makes it +possible to search the full contents of the database and have headings +in which search content appears, or to search only headings etc. (as +the Dublin Core is incorporated it is easy to make use of that as +well). + + + + 197 + + This is a larger scale project, (with little development on the front +end largely ignored), though the "infrastructure" has been in place +since 2002. + + + + 198 + + 1.15.6 Search - database frontend sample, utilising database and SiSU +features, including object citation numbering (backend currently +PostgreSQL) + + + + 199 + + Sample search frontend +66 A small database and sample query front-end (search from) +that makes use of the citation system, object citation numbering +to demonstrates functionality.67 + + + 66 + + <http://search.sisudoc.org> + + + + 67 + + (which could be extended further with current back-end). As regards +scaling of the database, it is as scalable as the database (here +Postgresql) and hardware allow. + + + + + 200 + + SiSU can provide information on which documents are matched and +at what locations within each document the matches are found. These +results are relevant across all outputs using object citation +numbering, which includes html, XML, LaTeX, PDF and indeed the SQL +database. You can then refer to one of the other outputs or in the SQL +database expand the text within the matched objects (paragraphs) in the +documents matched. + + + + 201 + + (further work needs to be done on the sample search form, which is +rudimentary and only passes simple booleans correctly at present to the +SQL engine) + + + + 202 + + A few canned searches, showing object numbers.
