Subject: [legalxml-econtracts] Contract Structure - FrontMatter, Body,BackMatter
Below are the elements for the Page Model of a Contract as I see it. The notions of FrontMatter-Body-BackMatter is inextricably tied to pagination, insofar as these items are separately paginated in usual practice, and being located on separate pages in all events. Nevertheless, content normally associated with each of these sections of a physical document -- such as the Table of Contents -- are allowed in addition to be child elements of the <Contract> element itself -- again, this means that such elements can be placed in either position. BackMatter is itself composed of Attachments to the contract; and the Body is composed of Addendums, but both of these elements may appear as children of the Contract element itself. Each of these may contain the usual content of Section-Clause-Paragraph. A <Page> element however may NOT -- it only contains references to the first and last text elements on a page (software can imply remaining content with these two markers) -- which I think coordinates nicely with the universal desire not to mix presentation with content, A <Page> can be divided into areas; these contain references to first and last text elements, or references to first and last figures (per their z-order). Comments?
