[osis-core] osis1.1 about to leave the station!

[Todd Tillinghast]

Kees,

The first four lines are Ps.1.1 split across four poetry lines.

Because all four <verse> elements would have been a SINGLE <verse>
element had the overlapping heirachy of the <lg> and <l>s not been
present, all four <verse> elements that represent the four fragments of
a single <verse> element they all carry the same splitID. 

The purpose of the splitID is not to make the four "fragments" unique
from each other but to uniquely identify the set of them (the four
<verse> fragments in this case) unique from other split elements.  

There is NO relationship between an osisID and a splitID.  I could have
encoded the following with equavelent meaning.  Only it would be harder
to make sure that each splitID is unique with the "BlueElephant#"
convention.
<lg>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.1" splitID"BlueElephant.1">Happy are
those</verse></l>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.1" splitID"BlueElephant.1">who reject the
advice of evil people,</verse></l>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.1" splitID"BlueElephant.1">who do not
follow the example of sinners</verse></l>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.1" splitID"BlueElephant.1">or join those
who have no use for God.</verse></l>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.2" splitID"BlueElephant.2">Instead, they
find joy in obeying the Law of the <divineName
type="yhwh">LORD</divineName>,</verse></l>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.2" splitID"BlueElephant.2">and they study
it day and night.</verse></l>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.3" splitID"BlueElephant.3">They are like
trees that grow beside a stream,</verse></l>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.3" splitID"BlueElephant.3">that bear
fruit at the right time,</verse></l>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.3" splitID"BlueElephant.3">and whose
leaves do not dry up.</verse></l>
	<l><verse osisID="Ps.1.3" splitID"BlueElephant.3">They succeed
in everything they do.</verse></l>
</lg>

OK, I think I am beginning to understand what a splitID is.
Whenever a thingy is split into multiple parts but is really one
thing, all the individual parts are assigned a unique and matching
splitID.
 
 
I am still confused, if this is the way it is. How come that in Ps 1.1
we have four poetry lines with the same osisID and splitID attribute.
What makes it unique?
