Troy,

We don't have a mechanism to specify if a document is all or just part
of a work OR a mechanism to specify that a element is all or part of a
the osisID it claims.  

We have clearly defined that an osisID does not specify that the element
contains all of the text that would traditionally be associated with
that identifiers.  Using this logic it would acceptable to use the
osisID="Eph.1" for the element even though it is not the complete text.

However, I would say the most accurate thing would be to identify the
document as the <work> that it is and then put ONLY an osisRef in the
top level <div> and leave off the osisID, unless it completely
represents that osisID.  (If you did put in the osisID you might as well
put in osisID="Eph Eph.1".)

<osisCorpus xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="www.bibletechnologies.net osisCore.1.1.1.xsd">
	<osisText osisIDWork="xyz" osisRefWork="bible">
		<header>
			<work osisWork="bible">
				<refSystem>Bible.KJV</refSystem>
			</work>
			<work osisWork="xyz">
				<identifier
type="OSIS">Bible.XYZ</identifier>
				<refSystem>Bible.KJV</refSystem>
			</work>
		</header>
		<div osisRefs="Eph.1.1-Eph.1.14">
			<verse osisID="Eph.1.1"> ...</verse>
			....
			<verse osisID="Eph.1.14"> ...</verse>
		</div>
	</osisText>
</osisCorpus>


I don't think that this has been clearly defined or specified by the
group, but this is my opinion.

Hey guys, could some of you have a look at this mail and respond.  I've 
been really swamped with a new short-term contract I've recently started

and just haven't had time to go back through the archives to remember 
what we decided.

Basically, he's looking for a _concise_ example of how to markup an 
_excerpt_ as a valid OSIS document (say: Eph.1.1-Eph.1.14).  He doesn't 
feel it is appropriate to state in the header of the doc that the doc is

the KJV text AND have a div that says:

<div osisID="Eph.1">


if the div does not contain all of Eph.1 in the KJV text.

I agree with him, and I distinctly remember us talking about a mechanism

to provide for this.... something like using an osisRef in combination 
with type or something, e.g.

<div type="chapter|partial" osisID="Eph.1" osisRef="Eph.1.1-Eph.1.14">


Anyway, please CC: osis-core, as well, as I would like to remember what 
we talked about, too.  Actually, maybe we should mail eachother to get 
consensus, before making a public recommendation.	

	Thanks,
		-Troy.
