Information Structures

Basic units of analysis are

a ldquocollection instancerdquo that is a particular physical occurrence of a collection in a manuscript

A ldquosnippetrdquo as indicated by a scribe in one particular manuscript

bull Thus different physical manuscripts imply

bull different ldquocollection instancesrdquo and bull different snippets (even if they are textually identical)

bullAll further relationships will be based around this unit

bull Each unit will be given a unique identifier (ie a URI)
