INTRODUCTION - WHAT IS SISU? -<p> <b>SiSU</b> is a framework for document -structuring, publishing (in multiple open standard formats) and search, -comprising of: (a) a lightweight document structure and presentation markup -syntax; and (b) an accompanying engine for generating standard document -format outputs from documents prepared in sisu markup syntax, which is -able to produce multiple standard outputs (including the population of -sql databases) that (can) share a common numbering system for the citation -of text within a document. -<p> <b>SiSU</b> is developed under an open source, software -libre license (GPL3). Its use case for development is work with medium to -large document sets and cope with evolving document formats/ representation -technologies. Documents are prepared once, and generated as need be to update -the technical presentation or add additional output formats. Various output -formats (including search related output) share a common mechanism for -cross-output-format citation. -<p> <b>SiSU</b> both defines a markup syntax and provides -an engine that produces open standards format outputs from documents prepared -with <b>SiSU</b> markup. From a single lightly prepared document sisu custom builds -several standard output formats which share a common (text object) numbering -system for citation of content within a document (that also has implications -for search). The sisu engine works with an abstraction of the document’s -structure and content from which it is possible to generate different forms -of representation of the document. Significantly <b>SiSU</b> markup is more sparse -than html and outputs which include html, EPUB, LaTeX, landscape and portrait -pdfs, Open Document Format (ODF), all of which can be added to and updated. -<b>SiSU</b> is also able to populate SQL type databases at an object level, which -means that searches can be made with that degree of granularity. -<p> Source -document preparation and output generation is a two step process: (i) document -source is prepared, that is, marked up in sisu markup syntax and (ii) the -desired output subsequently generated by running the sisu engine against -document source. Output representations if updated (in the sisu engine) -can be generated by re-running the engine against the prepared source. Using -<b>SiSU</b> markup applied to a document, <b>SiSU</b> custom builds (to take advantage -of the strengths of different ways of representing documents) various standard -open output formats including plain text, HTML, XHTML, XML, EPUB, OpenDocument, -LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an SQL database with objects[^1] (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. -<p> In preparing a <b>SiSU</b> document you -optionally provide semantic information related to the document in a document -header, and in marking up the substantive text provide information on the -structure of the document, primarily indicating heading levels and footnotes. -You also provide information on basic text attributes where used. The rest -is automatic, sisu from this information custom builds[^2] the different -forms of output requested. -<p> <b>SiSU</b> works with an abstraction of the document -based on its structure which is comprised of its headings[^3] and objects[^4], -which enables <b>SiSU</b> to represent the document in many different ways, and -to take advantage of the strengths of different ways of presenting documents. -The objects are numbered, and these numbers can be used to provide a common -basis for citing material within a document across the different output -format types. This is significant as page numbers are not well suited to -the digital age, in web publishing, changing a browser’s default font or -using a different browser can mean that text will appear on a different -page; and publishing in different formats, html, landscape and portrait -pdf etc. again page numbers are not useful to cite text. Dealing with documents -at an object level together with object numbering also has implications -for search that <b>SiSU</b> is able to take advantage of. -<p> One of the challenges -of maintaining documents is to keep them in a format that allows use of -them independently of proprietary platforms. Consider issues related to -dealing with legacy proprietary formats today and what guarantee you have -that old proprietary formats will remain (or can be read without proprietary -software/equipment) in 15 years time, or the way the way in which html -has evolved over its relatively short span of existence. <b>SiSU</b> provides the -flexibility of producing documents in multiple non-proprietary open formats -including html, pdf[^5] ODF,[^6] and EPUB.[^7] Whilst <b>SiSU</b> relies on software, -the markup is uncomplicated and minimalistic which guarantees that future -engines can be written to run against it. It is also easily converted to -other formats, which means documents prepared in <b>SiSU</b> can be migrated to -other document formats. Further security is provided by the fact that the -software itself, <b>SiSU</b> is available under GPL3 a licence that guarantees -that the source code will always be open, and free as in libre, which means -that that code base can be used, updated and further developed as required -under the terms of its license. Another challenge is to keep up with a moving -target. <b>SiSU</b> permits new forms of output to be added as they become important, -(Open Document Format text was added in 2006 when it became an ISO standard -for office applications and the archival of documents), EPUB was introduced -in 2009; and allows the technical representations existing output to be -updated (html has evolved and the related module has been updated repeatedly -over the years, presumably when the World Wide Web Consortium (w3c) finalises -html 5 which is currently under development, the html module will again -be updated allowing all existing documents to be regenerated as html 5). - -<p> The document formats are written to the file-system and available for -indexing by independent indexing tools, whether off the web like Google -and Yahoo or on the site like Lucene and Hyperestraier. -<p> <b>SiSU</b> also provides -other features such as concordance files and document content certificates, -and the working against an abstraction of document structure has further -possibilities for the research and development of other document representations, -the availability of objects is useful for example for topic maps and thesauri, -together with the flexibility of <b>SiSU</b> offers great possibilities. -<p> <b>SiSU</b> -is primarily for published works, which can take advantage of the citation -system to reliably reference its documents. <b>SiSU</b> works well in a complementary -manner with such collaborative technologies as Wikis, which can take advantage -of and be used to discuss the substance of content prepared in <b>SiSU</b> -<p> -<<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu</a> -> -<p> 2.

COMPOSITE DOCUMENTS MARKUP -<p> It is possible to build a document by -creating a master document that requires other documents. The documents -required may be complete documents that could be generated independently, -or they could be markup snippets, prepared so as to be easily available -to be placed within another text. If the calling document is a master document -(built from other documents), it should be named with the suffix <b>.ssm</b> Within -this document you would provide information on the other documents that -should be included within the text. These may be other documents that would -be processed in a regular way, or markup bits prepared only for inclusion -within a master document <b>.sst</b> regular markup file, or <b>.ssi</b> (insert/information) - -<p>A secondary file of the composite document is built prior to processing - -<p>with the same prefix and the suffix <b>._sst</b> -<p> basic markup for importing a - -<p>document into a master document -<p> -<p> <br> -<pre> << filename1.sst - << filename2.ssi -</pre> -<p> The form described above should be relied on. Within the Vim editor it -results in the text thus linked becoming hyperlinked to the document it -is calling in which is convenient for editing.

CONFIGURATION -<p> 14.1 DETERMINING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION -<p> Information -on the current configuration of <b>SiSU</b> should be available with the help -command: -<p> sisu -v<br> - -<p> which is an alias for: -<p> sisu --help env<br> - -<p> Either of these should be executed from within a directory that contains -sisu markup source documents. -<p> 14.2 CONFIGURATION FILES (CONFIG.YML) -<p> <b>SiSU</b> -configration parameters are adjusted in the configuration file, which can -be used to override the defaults set. This includes such things as which -directory interim processing should be done in and where the generated -output should be placed. -<p> The <b>SiSU</b> configuration file is a yaml file, which -means indentation is significant. -<p> <b>SiSU</b> resource configuration is determined -by looking at the following files if they exist: -<p> ./_sisu/sisurc.yml<br> - -<p> ~/.sisu/sisurc.yml<br> - -<p> /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml<br> - -<p> The search is in the order listed, and the first one found is used. -<p> - In the absence of instructions in any of these it falls back to the internal -program defaults. -<p> Configuration determines the output and processing directories -and the database access details. -<p> If <b>SiSU</b> is installed a sample sisurc.yml - -<p>may be found in /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml -<p> 15. SKINS -<p> Skins modify the default -appearance of document output on a document, directory, or site wide basis. -Skins are looked for in the following locations: -<p> ./_sisu/skin<br> - -<p> ~/.sisu/skin<br> - -<p> /etc/sisu/skin<br> - -<p> <b>Within the skin directory</b> are the following the default sub-directories -for document skins: -<p> ./skin/doc<br> - -<p> ./skin/dir<br> - -<p> ./skin/site<br> - -<p> A skin is placed in the appropriate directory and the file named skin_[name].rb - -<p> The skin itself is a ruby file which modifies the default appearances -set in the program. -<p> 15.1 DOCUMENT SKIN -<p> Documents take on a document skin, -if the header of the document specifies a skin to be used. -<p> -<p> <br> -<pre> @skin: skin_united_nations -</pre> -<p> 15.2 DIRECTORY SKIN -<p> A directory may be mapped on to a particular skin, -so all documents within that directory take on a particular appearance. -If a skin exists in the skin/dir with the same name as the document directory, -it will automatically be used for each of the documents in that directory, -(except where a document specifies the use of another skin, in the skin/doc -directory). -<p> A personal habit is to place all skins within the doc directory, -and symbolic links as needed from the site, or dir directories as required. - -<p> 15.3 SITE SKIN -<p> A site skin, modifies the program default skin. -<p> 15.4 SAMPLE - -<p>SKINS -<p> With <b>SiSU</b> installed sample skins may be found in: -<p> /etc/sisu/skin/doc -and<br> - /usr/share/doc/sisu/v2/sisu_markup_samples/samples/_sisu/skin/doc<br> - -<p> (or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also -under: -<p> /usr/share/doc/sisu-markup-samples/v2/samples/_sisu/skin/doc<br> - -<p> Samples of list.yml and promo.yml (which are used to create the right -column list) may be found in: -<p> /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/yml -(or equivalent<br> - directory)<br> - -<p> 16. CSS - CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (FOR HTML, XHTML AND XML) -<p> CSS files -to modify the appearance of <b>SiSU</b> html, XHTML or XML may be placed in the -configuration directory: ./_sisu/css ; ~/.sisu/css or; /etc/sisu/css and -these will be copied to the output directories with the command sisu -CC. - -<p> The basic CSS file for html output is html.css, placing a file of that -name in directory _sisu/css or equivalent will result in the default file -of that name being overwritten. -<p> HTML: html.css -<p> XML DOM: dom.css -<p> XML -SAX: sax.css -<p> XHTML: xhtml.css -<p> The default homepage may use homepage.css - -<p>or html.css -<p> Under consideration is to permit the placement of a CSS file -with a different name in directory _sisu/css directory or equivalent, and -change the default CSS file that is looked for in a skin.[^18] -<p> 17. ORGANISING -CONTENT -<p> 17.1 DIRECTORY STRUCTURE AND MAPPING -<p> The output directory root -can be set in the sisurc.yml file. Under the root, subdirectories are made -for each directory in which a document set resides. If you have a directory -named poems or conventions, that directory will be created under the output -directory root and the output for all documents contained in the directory -of a particular name will be generated to subdirectories beneath that directory -(poem or conventions). A document will be placed in a subdirectory of the -same name as the document with the filetype identifier stripped (.sst .ssm) - -<p> The last part of a directory path, representing the sub-directory in which -a document set resides, is the directory name that will be used for the -output directory. This has implications for the organisation of document -collections as it could make sense to place documents of a particular subject, -or type within a directory identifying them. This grouping as suggested -could be by subject (sales_law, english_literature); or just as conveniently -by some other classification (X University). The mapping means it is also -possible to place in the same output directory documents that are for organisational -purposes kept separately, for example documents on a given subject of two -different institutions may be kept in two different directories of the -same name, under a directory named after each institution, and these would -be output to the same output directory. Skins could be associated with each -institution on a directory basis and resulting documents will take on the -appropriate different appearance. -<p> -<p> 18. HOMEPAGES -<p> <b>SiSU</b> is about the ability -to auto-generate documents. Home pages are regarded as custom built items, -and are not created by <b>SiSU</b> <b>SiSU</b> has a default home page, which will not -be appropriate for use with other sites, and the means to provide your -own home page instead in one of two ways as part of a site’s configuration, -these being: -<p> 1. through placing your home page and other custom built -documents in the subdirectory _sisu/home/ (this probably being the easier -and more convenient option) -<p> 2. through providing what you want as the -home page in a skin, -<p> Document sets are contained in directories, usually -organised by site or subject. Each directory can/should have its own homepage. -See the section on directory structure and organisation of content. -<p> 18.1 - -<p>HOME PAGE AND OTHER CUSTOM BUILT PAGES IN A SUB-DIRECTORY -<p> Custom built -pages, including the home page index.html may be placed within the configuration -directory _sisu/home/ in any of the locations that is searched for the -configuration directory, namely ./_sisu ; ~/_sisu ; /etc/sisu From there -they are copied to the root of the output directory with the command: -<p> - sisu -CC<br> - -<p> 18.2 HOME PAGE WITHIN A SKIN -<p> Skins are described in a separate section, -but basically are a file written in the programming language <b>Ruby</b> that -may be provided to change the defaults that are provided with sisu with -respect to individual documents, a directories contents or for a site. -<p> - If you wish to provide a homepage within a skin the skin should be in -the directory _sisu/skin/dir and have the name of the directory for which -it is to become the home page. Documents in the directory commercial_law -would have the homepage modified in skin_commercial law.rb; or the directory - -<p>poems in skin_poems.rb -<p> -<p> <br> -<pre> class Home - def homepage - # place the html content of your homepage here, this will become -index.html - <<HOME <html> - <head></head> - <doc> - <p>this is my new homepage.</p> - </doc> - </html> - HOME - end - end -</pre> -<p> 19. MARKUP AND OUTPUT EXAMPLES -<p> 19.1 MARKUP EXAMPLES -<p> Current markup examples -and document output samples are provided at <<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html</a> -> - -<p> Some markup with syntax highlighting may be found under <<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax</a> -> -but is not as up to date. -<p> For some documents hardly any markup at all -is required at all, other than a header, and an indication that the levels -to be taken into account by the program in generating its output are. -<p> 20. -SISU SEARCH - INTRODUCTION -<p> <b>SiSU</b> output can easily and conveniently be -indexed by a number of standalone indexing tools, such as Lucene, Hyperestraier. - -<p> Because the document structure of sites created is clearly defined, and -the text object citation system is available hypothetically at least, 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. -<p> In addition to this <b>SiSU</b> has -the ability to populate a relational sql type database with documents at -an object level, with objects numbers that are shared across different -output types, which make them searchable with that degree of granularity. -Basically, your match criteria is met by these documents and at these locations -within each document, which can be viewed within the database directly -or in various output formats. -<p> 21. SQL -<p> 21.1 POPULATING SQL TYPE DATABASES - -<p> <b>SiSU</b> feeds sisu markupd documents into sql type databases PostgreSQL[^19] -and/or SQLite[^20] database together with information related to document -structure. -<p> This is one of the more interesting output forms, as all the -structural data of 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 tables: -<p> * one containing semantic -(and other) headers, including, title, author,<br> - subject, (the Dublin Core...);<br> - -<p> * another the substantive texts by individual "paragraph" (or object) --<br> - along with structural information, each paragraph being identifiable -by its<br> - paragraph number (if it has one which almost all of them do), and the<br> - substantive text of each paragraph quite naturally being searchable -(both in<br> - formatted and clean text versions for searching); and<br> - -<p> * a third containing endnotes cross-referenced back to the paragraph -from<br> - which they are referenced (both in formatted and clean text versions -for<br> - searching).<br> - -<p> * a fourth table with a one to one relation with the headers table -contains<br> - full text versions of output, eg. pdf, html, xml, and ascii.<br> - -<p> There is of course the possibility to add further structures. -<p> At this -level <b>SiSU</b> loads a relational database with documents chunked into objects, -their smallest logical structurally constituent parts, as text objects, -with their object citation number and all other structural information -needed to construct the document.

QUICKSTART - GETTING STARTED HOWTO - -<p> 30.1 INSTALLATION -<p> Installation is currently most straightforward and -tested on the <b>Debian</b> platform, as there are packages for the installation -of sisu and all requirements for what it does. -<p> 30.1.1 DEBIAN INSTALLATION - -<p> <b>SiSU</b> is available directly from the <b>Debian</b> Sid and testing archives (and -possibly Ubuntu), assuming your /etc/apt/sources.list is set accordingly: - -<p> -<p> <br> -<pre> aptitude update - aptitude install sisu-complete -</pre> -<p> The following /etc/apt/sources.list setting permits the download of additional -markup samples: -<p> -<p> <br> -<pre> #/etc/apt/sources.list - deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib - deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib - d -</pre> -<p> The aptitude commands become: -<p> -<p> <br> -<pre> aptitude update - aptitude install sisu-complete sisu-markup-samples -</pre> -<p> If there are newer versions of <b>SiSU</b> upstream of the <b>Debian</b> archives, - -<p>they will be available by adding the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list - -<p> -<p> <br> -<pre> #/etc/apt/sources.list - deb http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free - deb-src http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free -</pre> -<p> repeat the aptitude commands -<p> -<p> <br> -<pre> aptitude update - aptitude install sisu-complete sisu-markup-samples -</pre> -<p> Note however that it is not necessary to install sisu-complete if not -all components of sisu are to be used. Installing just the package sisu -will provide basic functionality. -<p> 30.1.2 RPM INSTALLATION -<p> RPMs are provided -though untested, they are prepared by running alien against the source -package, and against the debs. -<p> They may be downloaded from: -<p> <<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#rpm'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#rpm</a> -><br> - -<p> as root type: -<p> rpm -i [rpm package name]<br> - -<p> 30.1.3 INSTALLATION FROM SOURCE -<p> To install <b>SiSU</b> from source check information -at: -<p> <<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#current'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#current</a> -><br> - -<p> * download the source package -<p> * Unpack the source -<p> Two alternative -modes of installation from source are provided, setup.rb (by Minero Aoki) -and a rant(by Stefan Lang) built install file, in either case: the first -steps are the same, download and unpack the source file: -<p> For basic use -<b>SiSU</b> is only dependent on the programming language in which it is written -<b>Ruby</b> , and <b>SiSU</b> will be able to generate html, EPUB, various XMLs, including -ODF (and will also produce LaTeX). Dependencies required for further actions, -though it relies on the installation of additional dependencies which the -source tarball does not take care of, for things like using a database -(postgresql or sqlite)[^24] or converting LaTeX to pdf. -<p> <b>setup.rb</b> -<p> This -is a standard ruby installer, using setup.rb is a three step process.

HOW DOES SISU WORK? -<p> <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 -the substantive text of the document, 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 document 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,[2] 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). -<p> 33. SUMMARY OF FEATURES -<p> * sparse/minimal markup (clean -utf-8 source texts). Documents are prepared in a single UTF-8 file using a -minimalistic mnemonic syntax. Typical literature, documents like headers -are optional. -<p> * markup is easily readable/parsable 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]. - -<p> * 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. <b>SiSU</b> markup is primarily an abstraction -of document structure and document metadata to permit taking advantage -of the basic strengths of existing alternative practical standard ways -of representing documents [be that paper publication, sql search etc.] (html, -epub, xml, odf, latex, pdf, sql) -<p> * for output produces reasonably elegant -output of established industry and institutionally accepted open standard -formats.[3] takes advantage of the different strengths of various standard -formats for representing documents, amongst the output formats currently -supported are: -<p> * html - both as a single scrollable text and a segmented -document<br> - -<p> * xhtml<br> - -<p> * epub<br> - -<p> * XML - both in sax and dom style xml structures for further development -as<br> - required<br> - -<p> * ODF - open document format, the iso standard for document storage<br> - -<p> * LaTeX - used to generate pdf<br> - -<p> * pdf (via LaTeX)<br> - -<p> * sql - population of an sql database, (at the same object level that -is<br> - used to cite text within a document)<br> - -<p> 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)) -<p> * -ensuring content can be cited in a meaningful way regardless of selected -output format. Online publishing (and publishing in multiple document formats) -lacks a useful way of citing text internally within documents (important -to academics generally and to lawyers) as page numbers are meaningless -across browsers and formats. sisu seeks to provide a common way of pinpoint -the text within a document, (which can be utilized for citation and by -search engines). The outputs share a common numbering system that is meaningful -(to man and machine) across all digital outputs whether paper, screen, -or database oriented, (pdf, HTML, EPUB, xml, sqlite, postgresql), this -numbering system can be used to reference content. -<p> * Granular search within -documents. 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 hyperestraier]. -<p> <b>*</b>long<b>term</b>maintainability<b>of</b>document<b>collections</b>in<b>a</b>world<b>of</b>changing -formats, having a very sparsely marked-up source document base. there is -a considerable degree of future-proofing, output representations are upgradeable -(open document text) module in 2006, epub in 2009 and in future html5 output -sometime in future, without modification of existing prepared texts -<p> * -SQL search aside, documents are generated as required and static once generated. - -<p> * documents produced are static files, and may be batch processed, 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) -<p> * document source (plaintext utf-8) if - -<p>shared on the net may be used as input and processed locally to produce - -<p>the different document outputs -<p> * 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 - -<p>the desired document outputs -<p> * generated document outputs may automatically -be posted to remote sites. -<p> * for basic document generation, the only software -dependency is <b>Ruby</b> , and a few standard Unix tools (this covers plaintext, -HTML, EPUB, 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. -<p> * as a developers tool it is flexible and extensible -<p> Syntax -highlighting for <b>SiSU</b> markup is available for a number of text editors. - -<p> <b>SiSU</b> is less about document layout than about finding a way with little -markup to be able to construct an abstract representation of a document -that makes it possible to produce multiple representations of it which -may be rather different from each other and used for different purposes, -whether layout and publishing, or search of content -<p> i.e. to be able to -take advantage from this minimal preparation starting point of some of -the strengths of rather different established ways of representing documents -for different purposes, whether for search (relational database, or indexed -flat files generated for that purpose whether of complete documents, or -say of files made up of objects), online viewing (e.g. html, xml, pdf), or -paper publication (e.g. pdf)... -<p> the solution arrived at is by extracting structural -information about the document (about headings within the document) and -by tracking objects (which are serialized and also given hash values) in -the manner described. It makes possible representations that are quite different -from those offered at present. For example objects could be saved individually -and identified by their hashes, with an index of how the objects relate -to each other to form a document. -<p> 34.

INTRODUCTION \- WHAT IS SISU? -.BR - -.BR -.B SiSU -is a framework for document structuring, publishing (in multiple open -standard formats) and search, comprising of: (a) a lightweight document -structure and presentation markup syntax; and (b) an accompanying engine for -generating standard document format outputs from documents prepared in sisu -markup syntax, which is able to produce multiple standard outputs (including -the population of sql databases) that (can) share a common numbering system for -the citation of text within a document. - -.BR -.B SiSU -is developed under an open source, software libre license (GPL3). Its use -case for development is work with medium to large document sets and cope with -evolving document formats/ representation technologies. Documents are prepared -once, and generated as need be to update the technical presentation or add -additional output formats. Various output formats (including search related -output) share a common mechanism for cross\-output\-format citation. - -.BR -.B SiSU -both defines a markup syntax and provides an engine that produces open -standards format outputs from documents prepared with -.B SiSU -markup. From a single lightly prepared document sisu custom builds several -standard output formats which share a common (text object) numbering system for -citation of content within a document (that also has implications for search). -The sisu engine works with an abstraction of the document's structure and -content from which it is possible to generate different forms of representation -of the document. Significantly -.B SiSU -markup is more sparse than html and outputs which include html, EPUB, LaTeX, -landscape and portrait pdfs, Open Document Format (ODF), all of which can be -added to and updated. -.B SiSU -is also able to populate SQL type databases at an object level, which means -that searches can be made with that degree of granularity. - -.BR -Source document preparation and output generation is a two step process: (i) -document source is prepared, that is, marked up in sisu markup syntax and (ii) -the desired output subsequently generated by running the sisu engine against -document source. Output representations if updated (in the sisu engine) can be -generated by re\-running the engine against the prepared source. Using -.B SiSU -markup applied to a document, -.B SiSU -custom builds (to take advantage of the strengths of different ways of -representing documents) various standard open output formats including plain -text, HTML, XHTML, XML, EPUB, OpenDocument, LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an -SQL database with objects[^1] (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. - -.BR -In preparing a -.B SiSU -document you optionally provide semantic information related to the document -in a document header, and in marking up the substantive text provide -information on the structure of the document, primarily indicating heading -levels and footnotes. You also provide information on basic text attributes -where used. The rest is automatic, sisu from this information custom builds[^2] -the different forms of output requested. - -.BR -.B SiSU -works with an abstraction of the document based on its structure which is -comprised of its headings[^3] and objects[^4], which enables -.B SiSU -to represent the document in many different ways, and to take advantage of -the strengths of different ways of presenting documents. The objects are -numbered, and these numbers can be used to provide a common basis for citing -material within a document across the different output format types. This is -significant as page numbers are not well suited to the digital age, in web -publishing, changing a browser's default font or using a different browser can -mean that text will appear on a different page; and publishing in different -formats, html, landscape and portrait pdf etc. again page numbers are not -useful to cite text. Dealing with documents at an object level together with -object numbering also has implications for search that -.B SiSU -is able to take advantage of. - -.BR -One of the challenges of maintaining documents is to keep them in a format that -allows use of them independently of proprietary platforms. Consider issues -related to dealing with legacy proprietary formats today and what guarantee you -have that old proprietary formats will remain (or can be read without -proprietary software/equipment) in 15 years time, or the way the way in which -html has evolved over its relatively short span of existence. -.B SiSU -provides the flexibility of producing documents in multiple non\-proprietary -open formats including html, pdf[^5] ODF,[^6] and EPUB.[^7] Whilst -.B SiSU -relies on software, the markup is uncomplicated and minimalistic which -guarantees that future engines can be written to run against it. It is also -easily converted to other formats, which means documents prepared in -.B SiSU -can be migrated to other document formats. Further security is provided by -the fact that the software itself, -.B SiSU -is available under GPL3 a licence that guarantees that the source code will -always be open, and free as in libre, which means that that code base can be -used, updated and further developed as required under the terms of its license. -Another challenge is to keep up with a moving target. -.B SiSU -permits new forms of output to be added as they become important, (Open -Document Format text was added in 2006 when it became an ISO standard for -office applications and the archival of documents), EPUB was introduced in -2009; and allows the technical representations existing output to be updated -(html has evolved and the related module has been updated repeatedly over the -years, presumably when the World Wide Web Consortium (w3c) finalises html 5 -which is currently under development, the html module will again be updated -allowing all existing documents to be regenerated as html 5). - -.BR -The document formats are written to the file\-system and available for indexing -by independent indexing tools, whether off the web like Google and Yahoo or on -the site like Lucene and Hyperestraier. - -.BR -.B SiSU -also provides other features such as concordance files and document content -certificates, and the working against an abstraction of document structure has -further possibilities for the research and development of other document -representations, the availability of objects is useful for example for topic -maps and thesauri, together with the flexibility of -.B SiSU -offers great possibilities. - -.BR -.B SiSU -is primarily for published works, which can take advantage of the citation -system to reliably reference its documents. -.B SiSU -works well in a complementary manner with such collaborative technologies as -Wikis, which can take advantage of and be used to discuss the substance of -content prepared in -.B SiSU -. - -.BR -<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu> - -.SH -2.

INTRODUCTION TO SISU MARKUP[^10] -.BR - -.SH -7.1 SUMMARY - -.BR -.B SiSU -source documents are plaintext (UTF\-8)[^11] files - -.BR -All paragraphs are separated by an empty line. - -.BR -Markup is comprised of: - -.BR -* at the top of a document, the document header made up of semantic meta\-data -about the document and if desired additional processing instructions (such an -instruction to automatically number headings from a particular level down) - -.BR -* followed by the prepared substantive text of which the most important single -characteristic is the markup of different heading levels, which define the -primary outline of the document structure. Markup of substantive text includes: - -.BR - * heading levels defines document structure - -.BR - * text basic attributes, italics, bold etc. - -.BR - * grouped text (objects), which are to be treated differently, such as code - blocks or poems. - -.BR - * footnotes/endnotes - -.BR - * linked text and images - -.BR - * paragraph actions, such as indent, bulleted, numbered\-lists, etc. - -.BR -Some interactive help on markup is available, by typing sisu and selecting -markup or sisu \-\-help markup - -.BR -To check the markup in a file: - -.BR - sisu \-\-identify [filename].sst - -.BR -For brief descriptive summary of markup history - -.BR - sisu \-\-query\-history - -.BR -or if for a particular version: - -.BR - sisu \-\-query\-0.38 - -.SH -7.2 MARKUP EXAMPLES - -.SH -7.2.1 ONLINE - -.BR -Online markup examples are available together with the respective outputs -produced from <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html> or from -<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_examples/> - -.BR -There is of course this document, which provides a cursory overview of sisu -markup and the respective output produced: -<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup/> - -.BR -Some example marked up files are available as html with syntax highlighting for -viewing: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax> - -.BR -an alternative presentation of markup syntax: -<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/on_markup.txt> - -.SH -7.2.2 INSTALLED - -.BR -With -.B SiSU -installed sample skins may be found in: -/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg (or equivalent directory) and if -sisu\-markup\-samples is installed also under: -/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/non\-free - -.SH -8.

If a skin exists in the skin/dir -with the same name as the document directory, it will automatically be used for -each of the documents in that directory, (except where a document specifies the -use of another skin, in the skin/doc directory). - -.BR -A personal habit is to place all skins within the doc directory, and symbolic -links as needed from the site, or dir directories as required. - -.SH -15.3 SITE SKIN - -.BR -A site skin, modifies the program default skin. - -.SH -15.4 SAMPLE SKINS - -.BR -With -.B SiSU -installed sample skins may be found in: - -.BR - /etc/sisu/skin/doc and - /usr/share/doc/sisu/v2/sisu_markup_samples/samples/_sisu/skin/doc - -.BR -(or equivalent directory) and if sisu\-markup\-samples is installed also under: - -.BR - /usr/share/doc/sisu\-markup\-samples/v2/samples/_sisu/skin/doc - -.BR -Samples of list.yml and promo.yml (which are used to create the right column -list) may be found in: - -.BR - /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/yml (or equivalent - directory) - -.SH -16. CSS \- CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (FOR HTML, XHTML AND XML) -.BR - -.BR -CSS files to modify the appearance of -.B SiSU -html, XHTML or XML may be placed in the configuration directory: \./_sisu/css -; ~/.sisu/css or; /etc/sisu/css and these will be copied to the output -directories with the command sisu \-CC. - -.BR -The basic CSS file for html output is html.css, placing a file of that name in -directory _sisu/css or equivalent will result in the default file of that name -being overwritten. - -.BR -HTML: html.css - -.BR -XML DOM: dom.css - -.BR -XML SAX: sax.css - -.BR -XHTML: xhtml.css - -.BR -The default homepage may use homepage.css or html.css - -.BR -Under consideration is to permit the placement of a CSS file with a different -name in directory _sisu/css directory or equivalent, and change the default CSS -file that is looked for in a skin.[^18] - -.SH -17. ORGANISING CONTENT -.BR - -.SH -17.1 DIRECTORY STRUCTURE AND MAPPING - -.BR -The output directory root can be set in the sisurc.yml file. Under the root, -subdirectories are made for each directory in which a document set resides. If -you have a directory named poems or conventions, that directory will be created -under the output directory root and the output for all documents contained in -the directory of a particular name will be generated to subdirectories beneath -that directory (poem or conventions). A document will be placed in a -subdirectory of the same name as the document with the filetype identifier -stripped (.sst \.ssm) - -.BR -The last part of a directory path, representing the sub\-directory in which a -document set resides, is the directory name that will be used for the output -directory. This has implications for the organisation of document collections -as it could make sense to place documents of a particular subject, or type -within a directory identifying them. This grouping as suggested could be by -subject (sales_law, english_literature); or just as conveniently by some other -classification (X University). The mapping means it is also possible to place -in the same output directory documents that are for organisational purposes -kept separately, for example documents on a given subject of two different -institutions may be kept in two different directories of the same name, under a -directory named after each institution, and these would be output to the same -output directory. Skins could be associated with each institution on a -directory basis and resulting documents will take on the appropriate different -appearance. - -.SH - -.SH -18. HOMEPAGES -.BR - -.BR -.B SiSU -is about the ability to auto\-generate documents. Home pages are regarded as -custom built items, and are not created by -.B SiSU -. More accurately, -.B SiSU -has a default home page, which will not be appropriate for use with other -sites, and the means to provide your own home page instead in one of two ways -as part of a site\'s configuration, these being: - -.BR -1. through placing your home page and other custom built documents in the -subdirectory _sisu/home/ (this probably being the easier and more convenient -option) - -.BR -2. through providing what you want as the home page in a skin, - -.BR -Document sets are contained in directories, usually organised by site or -subject. Each directory can/should have its own homepage. See the section on -directory structure and organisation of content. - -.SH -18.1 HOME PAGE AND OTHER CUSTOM BUILT PAGES IN A SUB\-DIRECTORY - -.BR -Custom built pages, including the home page index.html may be placed within the -configuration directory _sisu/home/ in any of the locations that is searched -for the configuration directory, namely \./_sisu ; ~/_sisu ; /etc/sisu From -there they are copied to the root of the output directory with the command: - -.BR - sisu \-CC - -.SH -18.2 HOME PAGE WITHIN A SKIN - -.BR -Skins are described in a separate section, but basically are a file written in -the programming language -.B Ruby -that may be provided to change the defaults that are provided with sisu with -respect to individual documents, a directories contents or for a site. - -.BR -If you wish to provide a homepage within a skin the skin should be in the -directory _sisu/skin/dir and have the name of the directory for which it is to -become the home page. Documents in the directory commercial_law would have the -homepage modified in skin_commercial law.rb; or the directory poems in -skin_poems.rb - - -.nf - class Home - def homepage - # place the html content of your homepage here, this will become index.html - <<HOME <html> - <head></head> - <doc> - <p>this is my new homepage.</p> - </doc> - </html> - HOME - end - end -.fi - -.SH -19. MARKUP AND OUTPUT EXAMPLES -.BR - -.SH -19.1 MARKUP EXAMPLES - -.BR -Current markup examples and document output samples are provided at -<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html> - -.BR -Some markup with syntax highlighting may be found under -<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax> but is not as up to date. - -.BR -For some documents hardly any markup at all is required at all, other than a -header, and an indication that the levels to be taken into account by the -program in generating its output are. - -.SH -20. SISU SEARCH \- INTRODUCTION -.BR - -.BR -.B SiSU -output can easily and conveniently be indexed by a number of standalone -indexing tools, such as Lucene, Hyperestraier. - -.BR -Because the document structure of sites created is clearly defined, and the -text object citation system is available hypothetically at least, 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. - -.BR -In addition to this -.B SiSU -has the ability to populate a relational sql type database with documents at -an object level, with objects numbers that are shared across different output -types, which make them searchable with that degree of granularity. Basically, -your match criteria is met by these documents and at these locations within -each document, which can be viewed within the database directly or in various -output formats. - -.SH -21. SQL -.BR - -.SH -21.1 POPULATING SQL TYPE DATABASES - -.BR -.B SiSU -feeds sisu markupd documents into sql type databases PostgreSQL[^19] and/or -SQLite[^20] database together with information related to document structure. - -.BR -This is one of the more interesting output forms, as all the structural data of -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 tables: - -.BR - * one containing semantic (and other) headers, including, title, author, - subject, (the Dublin Core...); - -.BR - * 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 - -.BR - * a third containing endnotes cross\-referenced back to the paragraph from - which they are referenced (both in formatted and clean text versions for - searching). - -.BR - * 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. - -.BR -There is of course the possibility to add further structures. - -.BR -At this level -.B SiSU -loads a relational database with documents chunked into objects, their -smallest logical structurally constituent parts, as text objects, with their -object citation number and all other structural information needed to construct -the document.

HOW DOES SISU WORK? -.BR - -.BR -.B 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 the substantive text of the document, which is -related to document structure and typeface. -.B 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 -document 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,[2] 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). - -.SH -33. SUMMARY OF FEATURES -.BR - -.BR -* sparse/minimal markup (clean utf\-8 source texts). 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. - -.BR -* markup is easily readable/parsable 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]. - -.BR -* 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. -.B SiSU -markup is primarily an abstraction of document structure and document -metadata to permit taking advantage of the basic strengths of existing -alternative practical standard ways of representing documents [be \ that \ -browser \ viewing, \ paper \ publication, \ sql \ search \ etc.] (html, epub, -xml, odf, latex, pdf, sql) - -.BR -* for output produces reasonably elegant output of established industry and -institutionally accepted open standard formats.[3] takes advantage of the -different strengths of various standard formats for representing documents, -amongst the output formats currently supported are: - -.BR - * html \- both as a single scrollable text and a segmented document - -.BR - * xhtml - -.BR - * epub - -.BR - * XML \- both in sax and dom style xml structures for further development as - required - -.BR - * ODF \- open document format, the iso standard for document storage - -.BR - * LaTeX \- used to generate pdf - -.BR - * pdf (via LaTeX) - -.BR - * sql \- population of an sql database, (at the same object level that is - used to cite text within a document) - -.BR -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)) - -.BR -* ensuring content can be cited in a meaningful way regardless of selected -output format. Online publishing (and publishing in multiple document formats) -lacks a useful way of citing text internally within documents (important to -academics generally and to lawyers) as page numbers are meaningless across -browsers and formats. sisu seeks to provide a common way of pinpoint the text -within a document, (which can be utilized for citation and by search engines). -The outputs share a common numbering system that is meaningful (to man and -machine) across all digital outputs whether paper, screen, or database -oriented, (pdf, HTML, EPUB, xml, sqlite, postgresql), this numbering system can -be used to reference content. - -.BR -* Granular search within documents. 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 \ hyperestraier]. - -.BR * long term maintainability of document collections in a world of changing -formats, having a very sparsely marked\-up source document base. there is a -considerable degree of future\-proofing, output representations are -\"upgradeable\", and new document formats may be added. e.g. addition of odf -(open document text) module in 2006, epub in 2009 and in future html5 output -sometime in future, without modification of existing prepared texts - -.BR -* SQL search aside, documents are generated as required and static once -generated. - -.BR -* documents produced are static files, and may be batch processed, 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) - -.BR -* document source (plaintext utf\-8) if shared on the net may be used as input -and processed locally to produce the different document outputs - -.BR -* 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 - -.BR -* generated document outputs may automatically be posted to remote sites. - -.BR -* for basic document generation, the only software dependency is -.B Ruby -, and a few standard Unix tools (this covers plaintext, HTML, EPUB, 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. - -.BR -* as a developers tool it is flexible and extensible - -.BR -Syntax highlighting for -.B SiSU -markup is available for a number of text editors. - -.BR -.B SiSU -is less about document layout than about finding a way with little markup to -be able to construct an abstract representation of a document that makes it -possible to produce multiple representations of it which may be rather -different from each other and used for different purposes, whether layout and -publishing, or search of content - -.BR -i.e. to be able to take advantage from this minimal preparation starting point -of some of the strengths of rather different established ways of representing -documents for different purposes, whether for search (relational database, or -indexed flat files generated for that purpose whether of complete documents, or -say of files made up of objects), online viewing (e.g. html, xml, pdf), or -paper publication (e.g. pdf)... - -.BR -the solution arrived at is by extracting structural information about the -document (about headings within the document) and by tracking objects (which -are serialized and also given hash values) in the manner described. It makes -possible representations that are quite different from those offered at -present. For example objects could be saved individually and identified by -their hashes, with an index of how the objects relate to each other to form a -document. - -.SH -34.
