Oxford University Press Text Capture Instructions

 

OCW Related or Applicable Jurisdictions field

The jurisdiction group of elements contain countries to which the instrument or commentary is related.

//jurisdictionGroup/jurisdictionRelated[@role='applicable']

Every OCW document should have an applicable jurisdiction.

When the headnote column Related Jurisdictions is filled out, then the jurisdiction(s) in that column should be captured as a jurisdictionRelated element as a child of jurisdictionGroup. Give the jurisdictionRelated element attribute role="applicable".

If there is nothing in that column, then the jurisdiction in the Country column should be captured as the related/applicable jurisdiction.

Related Jurisdictions

The headnote separates multiple related jurisdictions using pipe | symbols.

Related Jursidctions in OCW books and monographs

For OxChapML and OxEncyclML books in OCW capture related jurisdictions in a jurisdictionGroup element within a metaInfo element.

Capture related jurisdictions with a metaInfo element. Applicable jurisdiction can be captured at the book level (in the bookMeta element), the article level (if OxEncyclML) or chapter level (if OxChapML), and the divN level.

Capture each related jurisdiction given in the Source Jurisdiction (Applicable) field in a jurisdictionRelated element as a child of jurisdictionGroup. Give the jurisdictionRelated element attribute role="applicable". Only capture the originating jurisdiction (with a role="originating") if the Originating and Applicable juridictions are not the same.

For example when capturing a book with a related jurisdiction of "Missouri, USA", capture the jurisdiction element with an ISOcountry attribute with value US, and capture the province attribute with the value of the two letter abbreviation name of the state.

Example capture of related jurisdictions in books


<jurisdictionGroup>
<jurisdiction province="mo">Missouri</jurisdiction>
<jurisdictionRelated ISOcountry="US" role="applicable">USA</jurisdictionRelated>
<jurisdictionRelated province="mo" role="applicable">Missouri</jurisdictionRelated>
</jurisdictionGroup>
