Globalisation is to be observed as a trend intrinsic to the world economy. ¹⁷ Rudimentary economics explains this runaway process, as being driven by competition within the business community to achieve efficient production, and to reach and extend available markets. ¹⁸ Technological advancement particularly in transport and communications has historically played a fundamental role in the furtherance of international commerce, with the Net, technology's latest spatio-temporally transforming offering, linchpin of the “new-economy”, extending exponentially the global reach of the business community. The Net covers much of the essence of international commerce providing an instantaneous, low cost, convergent, global and borderless: information centre, marketplace and channel for communications, payments and the delivery of services and intellectual property. The sale of goods, however, involves the separate element of their physical delivery. The Net has raised a plethora of questions and has frequently offered solutions. The increased transparency of borders arising from the Net's ubiquitous nature results in an increased demand for the transparency of operation. As economic activities become increasingly global, to reduce transaction costs, there is a strong incentive for the “law” that provides for them, to do so in a similar dimension. The appeal of transnational legal solutions lies in the potential reduction in complexity, more widely dispersed expertise, and resulting increased transaction efficiency. The Net reflexively offers possibilities for the development of transnational legal solutions, having in a similar vein transformed the possibilities for the promulgation of texts, the sharing of ideas and collaborative ventures. There are however, likely to be tensions within the legal community protecting entrenched practices against that which is new, (both in law and technology) and the business community's goal to reduce transaction costs.

Within commercial law an analysis of law and economics may assist in developing a better understanding of the relationship between commercial law and the commercial sector it serves. ¹⁹ “...[T]he importance of the interrelations between law and economics can be seen in the twin facts that legal change is often a function of economic ideas and conditions, which necessitate and/or generate demands for legal change, and that economic change is often governed by legal change.” ²⁰ In doing so, however, it is important to be aware that there are several competing schools of law and economics, with different perspectives, levels of abstraction, and analytical consequences of and for the world that they model. ²¹ This sentence trails test endnote. $$$

head

header document header, containing document specific (i) metadata information or (ii) make instructions

(document) structure relationship between headings and sub-headings, and the objects they contain. Document structure is extracted from heading levels, which are either: explicitly marked up, or; determined from a make regex provided in the document header. Use of document structure allow for the meaningful representation of documents in alternative ways and the use of ocn permits easy reference across different output formats.

heading document heading, each heading is marked indicating its level (in relation to other headings), and this is used as basis for determininge document structure. There are 8 levels, which are can be distinguesed as being one of three types: (i) 1 title level (marked up A or numeric 0); (ii) 3 optional document division levels, above text separating headings (marked up B - D, or numeric 1 to 3); (iii) 4 text headings (marked up 1 - 4, or numeric 4 to 7)

levels == heading levels document heading level, see heading and structure

marked up headings / mark up level

collapsed headings / collapsed levels

numeric levels

dummy heading a markup level 1 / dummy level 4 that does not exist in the original text that is manually inserted to maintain the documents structure rule that text follows a heading of markup level 1 (rather than A to D) (numeric level 4 rather than 0 to 3)

relatives? see ancestors and descendants

document ...

ancestors heading levels above the current heading level which it logically falls under and to which it belongs (headings preceding current level under which it occurs)

decendants decendant headings are sub-headings beneath the current heading level, heading levels below the current heading level which are derived from it and belong to it (sub-headings contained beneath current level); decendant objects are the range of objects contained by a heading (ocn ranges for each heading in document body)

(document) sections a document can be divided into 3 parts: front; body and; back. Front matter includes the table of contents (which is generated from headings) and any parts of the document that are presented before the document body (this might include a copyright notice for example). The document body, the substantive part of the document, all its substantive objects, including: headings, paragraphs, tables, verse etc. This is followed by optional backmatter: endnotes, generated from inline markup; glossary, from section using a subset of regular markup, with an indication that section is to be treated as glossary. Note two things glossary might do that it does not, there is: no automatic (sorting) alphabetisation of listing; no creation of term anchor tags (perhaps it should); bibliography, created from a specially marked up section, with indication that section is to be treated as bibliography; bookindex generated from dedicated markup appended to objects providing index terms and the relevant range; blurb made up of ordinary markup, with indication that section is to be treated as blurb

segment, segmented text certain forms of output are conveniently segmented, e.g. epub and segmented html. The document is broken into chunks indicated by markup level 1 heading (numeric level 4 headings) as the significant level at which the document should be segmented, and including all decendant objects of that level. For a longer text/book this will usually the chapter level. (this is significant in e.g. for epub and segmented html, which are broken by segment, usually chosen to be chapter)

scroll the document as a “scroll”, e.g. as a single text file, or continuous html document

object a unit of text. Objects include: headings; paragraphs; code blocks; grouped text; verse of poems; tables. Each substantive object is given an object number, that should make it citable.

ocn (object citation number / citation number) numbers assigned sequentially to each substantive object of a document. An ocn has the characteristic of remaining identical across output formats. Translations should be prepared so number remains identical across objects in different languages

unnumbered paragraph (place marker at end of paragraph)

unnumbered paragraph, delete when not required (place marker at end of paragraph) [used in dummy headings, eg. sometimes used for segmented html, e.g. to mark a prologue that is not otherwise identified as such as belonging to its own segment, segment will be created as such an placed in toc, but will not be found in scroll versions of the document]

citation number (see ocn / object citation number)

heading auto-numbering set in header, switched off in markup level 1~ with an appended minus 1~- or 1~given_segname-

document abstraction (== internal representation) intermediate step, preprocessing of document, into abstraction / representation that is used by all downstream processing, i.e. for all output formats. This allows normalisation, reducing alternative markup options to common representations, e.g. code blocks (open and close), tables, ways of instructing that text be bold, shortuct way of providing and endnote reference to a link

(document) internal representation (== document abstraction) see document abstraction

node representation

attribute (object attributes) when the document is abstracted attributes associated with an object, for example for a: paragraph, indent (hang ... check & add), bulleted, for a: code block, the language syntax, whether the block is numbered

inline markup when the document is abstracted, markup that remains embedded in the text, such as its font face (bold, italic, emphasis, underscore, strike, superscript, subscript), links, endnotes

sequential all objects backkeeping number?
