[osis-core] Re: USFM to OSIS mapping: Next Steps (last steps)

[Jim_Albright at wycliffe.org]

Looking over the latest Schema beta.

Here are some comments and questions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The <hi type='emphasis'> and <hi type='acrostic'> seem to be out of place. 

hi types:

acrostic
bold
emphasis
illuminated
italic
line-through
normal
small-caps
sub
super
underline

All other types describe format to apply to a segment. <hi 
type='emphasis'> is not italic. It is emphasis.
Will these work? yes.  <seg type'emphasis'> seems more logical if you want 
to make it a type on something and not <emphasis>.

seg types
        alluded
        keyword
        otPassage
        verseNumber <<<<<<<<<<<< how is this used? for inside of footnote?

        acrostic
        emphasis
seem to fit better here.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for adding <q type='citation'>.
Thank you for adding <q type='embedded'>
What is the most efficient manor of finding if an element is contained 
within either of these milestoned elements in XSLT?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
divineName is only used for YHWH and thus there is no need for a type on 
it? There was a lot of discussion about this earlier. I just want to know 
the final conclusion.

_______________________________________________

Thanks for looking over these examples and questions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In order to preserve information that is richer in TE and OSIS I suggest 
adding a style in USFM called something like:

\_TE_reserved ...\ _TE_reserved*
\_reserved ... \_reserved*
\reserved ... \reserved*
\comment ... \comment*
\xml ...        \xml*

TE would likely store information inside this tag in an XML form (that is 
why the suggested name of XML). The name isn't as important as having a 
place to store information. The \rem doesn't work as it is a paragraph tag 
and this new tag is needed to go inside of paragraph tags.

Round tripping could then occur without loss of information for OSIS and 
TE.
