Re: Summary of yesterday's meeting (Was Re: [Minutes] 2014-12-08 Digital Publishing Interest Group Teleconference)

Hi Tzviya,

> How do you recommend defining the term “statement”?

Ah, I had that coming ;-)  Yes, I'm not too happy with the JATS definition
either. To quote for the list:

> [...] formal statement, identified as such with a label and usually made
typographically distinct from the surrounding text.

Not too helpful but still the (print-)typographic pointer is useful, I
think (while mainly irrelevant for web typography, imho).

Perhaps it helps to compare to HTML5 elements. It's somewhat like <figure>
except it's more textual and never floating. It's a bit like <article> but
it's not as self-contained (but like figures something you'd often want to
reference or build an index). In many ways it meets the criteria of plain
<section> (in particular, it often has a heading) but it feels a bit bit
closer to an oustanding <p>.

So perhaps that's a good way of putting it: the intersection of <article>,
<section> and <p>. Let me try then:

"A minor structural division of a piece of writing, typically encapsulated
in a major one. A fragment that is part of the overall flow (i.e., not an
aside) but is distinguished from the surrounding content (possibly
typographically) and might be referenced elsewhere. In particular, a
content fragment that might be aggregated in some form of index. Use cases
are: Postulate, Hypothesis, Experiment, Result, Example, Definition,
Proposition,
Theorem/Lemma/Corollary, Proof."

HTML usage would be "section, grouping content", I think.

Best,
Peter.
