Using markup applied to a document, <b>SiSU</b> can produce plain text,
HTML, XHTML, XML, OpenDocument, LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an SQL
database with objects<en>3</en> (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.

<b>SiSU</b> 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,

paper<en>4</en>, web<en>5</en> and relational database<en>6</en>
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

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
<b>SiSU</b> markup and have that ignored/removed by the parts of the
program that have no use for it.

"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.<br />

<br /> "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<br />

<b>SiSU</b> 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. <b>SiSU</b> was
originally written in Perl,<en>11</en> and converted to <b>Ruby</b>,
<en>12</en> in 2000, one of the most impressive programming languages
in existence! In its current form it has been written to run on the
<b>Gnu</b> /Linux platform, and in particular on <b>Debian</b>,
<en>13</en> taking advantage of many of the wonderful projects that are
available there.

<b>SiSU</b> 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). <b>SiSU</b> 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).<en>14</en>
</text>
<endnote notenumber="14">
<number>14</number>
<note>
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.

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 <b>SiSU</b> today, <i>vis</i> generation of flat file
structures, rather than in addition the building of ("granular") SQL
database content, (at an object level with relevant relational tables,

1.3 How it works
</text>
</object>
<object id="57">
<ocn>57</ocn>
<text class="norm">
<b>SiSU</b> 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. <b>SiSU</b> 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,<en>16</en> 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).
</text>
<endnote notenumber="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.

1.4 Simple markup
</text>
</object>
<object id="59">
<ocn>59</ocn>
<text class="norm">
<b>SiSU</b> 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). <b>SiSU</b> 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).<en>17</en>
</text>
<endnote notenumber="17">
<number>17</number>
<note>
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.

1.7 Object citation numbering, a text or object positioning / citation

Object citation numbering is a simple object (text) positioning and
cition system that is human relevant and machine useable, used by
<b>SiSU</b> 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:

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.

<b>SiSU</b> 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 <b>SiSU</b> 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, <i>vis
a vis</i> 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).

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.

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.

<text class="norm">
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:
</text>
</object>
<object id="189">

<text class="indent_bullet1">
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
</text>
</object>
<object id="191">
<ocn>191</ocn>
<text class="indent_bullet1">
a third containing endnotes cross-referenced back to the
paragraph from which they are referenced (both in formatted and clean
text versions for searching).
</text>
</object>
<object id="192">
<ocn>192</ocn>

contains full text versions of output, eg. pdf, html, xml, and ascii.
</text>
</object>

There is of course the possibility to add further structures.

<object id="194">
<ocn>194</ocn>
<text class="norm">
At this level <b>SiSU</b> 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.
</text>
</object>
<object id="195">
<ocn>195</ocn>
<text class="norm">
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.
</text>
</object>
<object id="196">
<ocn>196</ocn>
<text class="norm">
The combination of the <b>SiSU</b> 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).

Concordance /WordMaps:<en>70</en> <b>SiSU</b> produces a rudimentary
index based on the words within the text, making use of paragraph
numbers to identify text locations. This is generated in html and
hyper-linked but identifies these words locations in the other document
formats. Though it is possible to search using a search engine, this is
a means for browsing an alphabetical list of words which may suggest
other useful content.

Unix provides many tools for version control. For documents Subversion,
CVS and even the old RCS are useful for the per-document histories they
provide.

For writing code superior (more recent) version control system exist.
These can also be used for documents though they tend to take stamps of
changes across the repository as a whole, rather than for each
individual file that is tracked, (as CVS and RCS do). My personal
preference is for distributed systems such as Git, Mercurial or Darcs,
of which I use Git for both code and documents.

Prefer a new input syntax, you could write a new syntax matching the
existing design, though my personal preference is some uniformity in
entry appearance. If necessary has been fairly easy to extend the
design parameters. It is intended to incorporate some additional basic
semantic tagging, (book, article, author etc.) However, keeping the
requirements for input minimal, and relatively simple has been a design
goal.
