WHAT IS SISU?

1. INTRODUCTION - WHAT IS SISU? -

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. -

SiSU is developed under an open source, software -libre license (GPL3). Its use case for development is to cope with medium -to large document sets with evolving markup related technologies, which -should be prepared once, and for which you want multiple output formats -that can be updated and a common mechanism for cross-output-format citation, -and search. -

SiSU both defines a markup syntax and provides an engine that -produces open standards format outputs from documents prepared with 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 SiSU markup is more sparse than html and -outputs which include html, LaTeX, landscape and portrait pdfs, Open Document -Format (ODF), all of which can be added to and updated. 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. -

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. +

SiSU both defines a +markup syntax and provides an engine that produces open standards format +outputs from documents prepared with 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 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. 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. +

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 SiSU markup applied to a document, 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, 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 works (finalized -texts as opposed to works that are frequently changed or updated) for which -it provides a fixed means of reference of content. -

In preparing a 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. -

SiSU works with an abstraction of -the document based on its structure which is comprised of its structure -(or frame)[^3] and the objects[^4] it contains, which enables 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 base 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 means that -text appears on different pages; and in publishing in different formats, -html, landscape and portrait pdf etc. again page numbers are of no use to -cite text in a manner that is relevant against the different output types. -Dealing with documents at an object level together with object numbering -also has implications for search. -

One of the challenges of maintaining -documents is to keep them in a format that would allow users to use them -without depending on a proprietary software popular at the time. Consider -the ease of 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. SiSU -provides the flexibility of outputing documents in multiple non-proprietary -open formats including html, pdf[^5] and the ISO standard ODF.[^6] Whilst -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 SiSU -can be migrated to other document formats. Further security is provided -by the fact that the software itself, 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. 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), and 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). -

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. -

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 SiSU offers great possibilities. -

AND MAPPING

-Under the root, subdirectories are made for each directory in which a document

  The last part of a directory

-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.

 SiSU ("SiSU information Structuring Universe" or "Structured information, Serialized Units"),~{ also chosen for the meaning of the Finnish term "sisu". }~ 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.
 
-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 objects~{ 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. }~ (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.

 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,~{ http://www.perl.org/ }~ and converted to Ruby,~{ http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ }~ 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,~{ http://www.debian.org/ }~ taking advantage of many of the wonderful projects that are available there.
 
-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).~{ 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. }~

 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).

 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.
 
-SiSU is developed under an open source, software libre license (GPL3). Its use case for development is to cope with medium to large document sets with evolving markup related technologies, which should be prepared once, and for which you want multiple output formats that can be updated and a common mechanism for cross-output-format citation, and search.
+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.
 
-SiSU both defines a markup syntax and provides an engine that produces open standards format outputs from documents prepared with 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 SiSU markup is more sparse than html and outputs which include html, LaTeX, landscape and portrait pdfs, Open Document Format (ODF), all of which can be added to and updated. 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.

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.
 
-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 SiSU markup applied to a document, 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, OpenDocument, LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an SQL database with objects~{ 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. }~ (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.

You also provide information on basic text attributes where used. The rest is automatic, sisu from this information custom builds~{ i.e. the html, pdf, odf outputs are each built individually and optimised for that form of presentation, rather than for example the html being a saved version of the odf, or the pdf being a saved version of the html. }~ the different forms of output requested.

-SiSU works with an abstraction of the document based on its structure which is comprised of its structure (or frame)~{ the different heading levels }~ and the objects~{ units of text, primarily paragraphs and headings, also any tables, poems, code-blocks }~ it contains, which enables 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 base 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 means that text appears on different pages; and in publishing in different formats, html, landscape and portrait pdf etc. again page numbers are of no use to cite text in a manner that is relevant against the different output types. Dealing with documents at an object level together with object numbering also has implications for search.

-One of the challenges of maintaining documents is to keep them in a format that would allow users to use them without depending on a proprietary software popular at the time. Consider the ease of 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. SiSU provides the flexibility of outputing documents in multiple non-proprietary open formats including html, pdf~{ Specification submitted by Adobe to ISO to become a full open ISO specification 
     http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS7542722606.html }~ and the ISO standard ODF.~{ ISO/IEC 26300:2006 }~ Whilst 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 SiSU can be migrated to other document formats. Further security is provided by the fact that the software itself, 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. 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), and 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).
