Greetings,
As promised, working on the user documentation! Won't be able to spend
all day but will do what I can.
Suggest using the following example cribbed from Todd as the minimal
OSIS document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<osis xmlns="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace
osisCore.2.0.xsd">
<osisText osisIDWork="thisWork" osisRefWork="bible" xml:lang="en-US">
<header>
<work osisWork="thisWork">
<title>Contemporary English Version</title>

</header>
<div type="section" scope="Esth.1.1-Esth.1.22">
<title>Queen Vashti Disobeys King Xerxes</title>
<p>
<verse sID="Esth.1.1-Esth.1.2" osisID="Esth.1.1 Esth.1.2" n="1-2"/>King
Xerxes of Persia lived in his capital city of Susa and ruled one hundred
twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia.<verse
eID="Esth.1.1-Esth.1.2"/>
<verse sID="Esth.1.3" osisID="Esth.1.3"/>During the third year of his
rule, Xerxes gave a big dinner for all his officials and officers. The
governors and leaders of the provinces were also invited, and even the
commanders of the Persian and Median armies came.<verse eID="Esth.1.3"/>
<verse sID="Esth.1.4" osisID="Esth.1.4"/>For one hundred eighty days he
showed off his wealth and spent a lot of money to impress his guests
with the greatness of his kingdom.<verse eID="Esth.1.4"/>
</p>
</div>
</osisText>
</osis>
Stripped out all the really detailed markup (don't want to frighten them
off right at first and is only 4 verses so probably fair use from the
standpoint of the CEV folks. ;-)
Thinking that I will use smaller snippets of this to walk people through
the header element. (BTW, this validates as a small OSIS document.)
I won't have time to finish the OSIS Users Manual today (the OSIS CD and
some ISO stuff I have promised out will be interfereing) but anticipate
doing revisions that will be available for downloading both at the SBL
meeting as well as a final version sometime, hopefully late this year.
To that end, where I insert more than 4-5 lines for an example, I will
be inserting (contributed by: name) in the text and will have a list of
contributors at the end.
As the manual grows and we cover more topics, I am sure we will be
inserting more material neither Steve nor I have authored and I would
like to give everyone credit for their contributions.
Hope everyone is having a great day!
Patrick
