OSEO Specific Number Systems

OSEO uses specific milestone unit attributes for certain numbering styles.

Where a work contains a numbering system other than by line, use a milestone element to capture these values. Use milestone unit values that describe the style of numbering.

milestone unit="clauseGroup-start" - used when a section of content is numbered and contains clauses which are numbered.
milestone unit="clauseGroup-start" MUST always precede its related milestone unit="clause-start" elements.
milestone unit="clause-start" - used when a sentence or sentence fragment is numbered. Capture the milestone at the start of the line containing the number.
When a fragment has line numbers by clause, the milestone unit="clause-start" MUST be placed before all its related milestone unit="line".

The manifest will identify the style of numbering in a work.

The milestone element must contain num and id attributes.

They can have the optional attribute of role=”hidden”.

The milestone id attribute can be used as the target of a note.

The new milestone element can be in addition to milestone unit="line" element.
