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"> + 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. + </endnote> + <ocn>57</ocn> +</object> +<object id="58"> + <text class="h5"> + 1.4 Simple markup + </text> + <ocn>58</ocn> +</object> +<object id="59"> + <text class="norm"> + <b>SiSU</b> markup is based on requiring the minimum markup needed to +determine the structure of a document.
