# 🏛️ Git Blame for the United States Code
|
||||
|
||||
> **Apply the full power of git to track every change in the United States Code with line-by-line attribution to Congressional sponsors.**
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
|
||||
[](https://pydantic.dev/)
|
||||
[](https://api.congress.gov/)
|
||||
|
||||
## Vision: True Git Blame for Law
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git blame Title-42-The-Public-Health-and-Welfare/Chapter-06A-Public-Health-Service/Section-280g-15.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Shows line-by-line attribution:
|
||||
a1b2c3d4 (Rep. Nancy Pelosi 2021-03-11) (a) In general.—The Secretary, acting through
|
||||
e5f6g7h8 (Sen. Chuck Schumer 2021-03-11) the Director of the Centers for Disease Control
|
||||
f9g0h1i2 (Rep. Mike Johnson 2023-01-09) and Prevention, shall award grants to eligible
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Every line of the US Code shows exactly which Congressperson last modified it and when.**
|
||||
|
||||
## The Vision
|
||||
|
||||
This system transforms US Code tracking from annual snapshots to **line-level legislative history**:
|
||||
|
||||
- **📍 Granular Attribution**: Every line shows the exact Congressperson who last changed it
|
||||
- **🕰️ Complete Timeline**: Full evolution from 2013 to present with chronological commits
|
||||
- **📊 Rich Context**: Committee reports, debates, sponsor details, and legislative process
|
||||
- **🔍 Powerful Queries**: `git log --follow Section-280g-15.md` to see complete section history
|
||||
- **🎯 Diff Analysis**: `git diff PL-116-260..PL-117-328` to see exactly what changed between laws
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture: Modular & Extensible
|
||||
|
||||
### 🏗️ Four-Script Modular Design
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Complete Pipeline - Orchestrated execution
|
||||
uv run main.py # Run all stages with defaults
|
||||
uv run main.py --comprehensive # Full download with all data sources
|
||||
uv run main.py --force-migration # Force re-migration of existing files
|
||||
|
||||
# Individual Stages - Independent execution
|
||||
uv run main.py --stage 1 # Download & cache data only
|
||||
uv run main.py --stage 2 # Migrate cached data to JSON
|
||||
uv run main.py --stage 3 # Generate git commit plans
|
||||
uv run main.py --stage 4 # Build final git repository
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each script is **independent**, **idempotent**, **cached**, and **scalable**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Data Processing Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Comprehensive Download (`download_cache.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
downloader = USCDataDownloader()
|
||||
|
||||
# Download official US Code HTML releases
|
||||
house_releases = downloader.download_house_usc_releases(public_laws)
|
||||
|
||||
# Fetch comprehensive bill data from Congress.gov API
|
||||
bill_data = downloader.download_congress_api_bills(public_laws)
|
||||
|
||||
# Get member profiles for proper attribution
|
||||
members = downloader.download_member_profiles(congresses=[113,114,115,116,117,118,119])
|
||||
|
||||
# Download committee reports and analysis
|
||||
committee_data = downloader.download_committee_reports(public_laws)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Features:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Smart Caching**: Never re-download existing data - fully idempotent
|
||||
- ✅ **Rate Limiting**: Respects Congress.gov 1,000 req/hour limit
|
||||
- ✅ **Rich Metadata**: Tracks download timestamps, sizes, sources
|
||||
- ✅ **Error Recovery**: Continues processing despite individual failures
|
||||
- ✅ **Organized Storage**: Separate cache directories by data type
|
||||
- ✅ **Cache Validation**: `is_cached()` checks prevent duplicate downloads
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Data Normalization (`migrate_to_datastore.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
migrator = DataMigrator()
|
||||
|
||||
# Parse HTML using semantic field extraction
|
||||
usc_sections = migrator.extract_usc_sections_from_html(house_releases)
|
||||
|
||||
# Normalize congressional data with Pydantic validation
|
||||
normalized_bills = migrator.migrate_congress_api_data(bill_data)
|
||||
|
||||
# Cross-reference and validate all relationships
|
||||
migrator.validate_and_index(usc_sections, normalized_bills, members)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Features:**
|
||||
- ✅ **HTML Parsing**: Extract clean USC text from semantic HTML fields
|
||||
- ✅ **Structure Normalization**: Handle multiple conversion program versions
|
||||
- ✅ **Pydantic Validation**: Type safety and business rule enforcement
|
||||
- ✅ **Cross-Referencing**: Link bills to public laws to USC changes
|
||||
- ✅ **Data Integrity**: Comprehensive validation and consistency checks
|
||||
- ✅ **Idempotent Processing**: Skip existing output files, `--force-migration` to override
|
||||
- ✅ **Output Validation**: Checks for existing `data/usc_sections/{law}.json` files
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Smart Git Planning (`generate_git_plan.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
planner = GitPlanGenerator()
|
||||
|
||||
# Analyze USC changes between consecutive releases
|
||||
changes = planner.analyze_usc_changes(old_release, new_release)
|
||||
|
||||
# Generate commit plans for each public law
|
||||
commit_plans = planner.generate_incremental_commit_plans(changes, public_laws)
|
||||
|
||||
# Optimize commit sequence for git blame accuracy
|
||||
optimized = planner.optimize_commit_sequence(commit_plans)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Features:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Section-Level Diff**: Track changes at USC section granularity
|
||||
- ✅ **Incremental Commits**: Only commit files that actually changed
|
||||
- ✅ **Smart Attribution**: Map changes to specific public laws and sponsors
|
||||
- ✅ **Chronological Order**: Proper timestamp ordering for git history
|
||||
- ✅ **Conflict Resolution**: Handle complex multi-law interactions
|
||||
- ✅ **Plan Caching**: Saves commit plans to `data/git_plans/` for reuse
|
||||
- ✅ **Input Validation**: Checks for required USC sections data before planning
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Repository Construction (`build_git_repo.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
builder = GitRepoBuilder()
|
||||
|
||||
# Create hierarchical USC structure
|
||||
builder.build_hierarchical_structure(usc_sections)
|
||||
|
||||
# Apply commit plans with proper attribution
|
||||
for plan in commit_plans:
|
||||
builder.apply_commit_plan(plan)
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate git blame functionality
|
||||
builder.validate_git_history()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output Structure:**
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Features
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚡ Idempotent & Cached Processing
|
||||
|
||||
**All scripts implement comprehensive caching and idempotency:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# First run - downloads and processes everything
|
||||
uv run main.py --laws 119-001,119-004
|
||||
|
||||
# Second run - skips existing work, completes instantly
|
||||
uv run main.py --laws 119-001,119-004
|
||||
# Output: ✅ Skipping HTML migration for 119-001 - output exists
|
||||
|
||||
# Force complete re-processing when needed
|
||||
uv run main.py --laws 119-001,119-004 --force-migration --force-rebuild
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Script-Level Caching:**
|
||||
- **Stage 1**: `download_cache/` - Never re-download existing files
|
||||
- **Stage 2**: `data/usc_sections/` - Skip processing if JSON output exists
|
||||
- **Stage 3**: `data/git_plans/` - Reuse existing commit plans
|
||||
- **Stage 4**: Repository exists check with `--force-rebuild` override
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Development Speed**: Instant re-runs during development
|
||||
- ✅ **Production Safety**: Resume interrupted processes seamlessly
|
||||
- ✅ **Resource Efficiency**: No redundant API calls or processing
|
||||
- ✅ **Incremental Updates**: Process only new public laws
|
||||
- ✅ **Debugging Support**: Test individual stages without full pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔍 Intelligent Text Extraction
|
||||
|
||||
**Multi-Version HTML Parsing:**
|
||||
- Handles House conversion programs: `xy2html.pm-0.400` through `xy2html.pm-0.401`
|
||||
- Extracts clean text from semantic field markers (`<!-- field-start:statute -->`)
|
||||
- Normalizes HTML entities and whitespace consistently
|
||||
- Preserves cross-references and legal citations
|
||||
|
||||
**Content Structure Recognition:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class USCSection:
|
||||
title_num: int # 42 (Public Health and Welfare)
|
||||
chapter_num: int # 6A (Public Health Service)
|
||||
section_num: str # "280g-15" (handles subsection numbering)
|
||||
heading: str # Clean section title
|
||||
statutory_text: str # Normalized legal text
|
||||
source_credit: str # Original enactment attribution
|
||||
amendment_history: List # All amendments with dates
|
||||
cross_references: List # References to other USC sections
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎯 Smart Diff & Change Detection
|
||||
|
||||
**Section-Level Comparison:**
|
||||
- Compare USC releases at individual section granularity
|
||||
- Track text additions, deletions, and modifications
|
||||
- Identify which specific public law caused each change
|
||||
- Handle complex multi-section amendments
|
||||
|
||||
**Change Attribution Pipeline:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class ChangeDetector:
|
||||
def analyze_section_changes(self, old_section: USCSection, new_section: USCSection) -> SectionChange:
|
||||
# Line-by-line diff analysis
|
||||
# Map changes to specific paragraphs and subsections
|
||||
# Track addition/deletion/modification types
|
||||
|
||||
def attribute_to_public_law(self, change: SectionChange, public_law: PublicLaw) -> Attribution:
|
||||
# Cross-reference with bill text and legislative history
|
||||
# Identify primary sponsor and key committee members
|
||||
# Generate rich attribution with legislative context
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 📈 Git History Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
**Chronological Accuracy:**
|
||||
- All commits use actual enactment dates as timestamps
|
||||
- Handle complex scenarios like bills signed across year boundaries
|
||||
- Preserve proper Congressional session attribution
|
||||
|
||||
**Blame-Optimized Structure:**
|
||||
- Each file contains single USC section for granular blame
|
||||
- Preserve git history continuity for unchanged sections
|
||||
- Optimize for common queries like section evolution
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Repository Generation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Complete pipeline - all stages in one command
|

uv run main.py
|
||||
|
||||
# Comprehensive processing with all data sources
|
||||
uv run main.py --comprehensive
|
||||
|
||||
# Process specific public laws
|
||||
uv run main.py --laws 119-001,119-004,119-012
|
||||
|
||||
# Individual stage execution for development/debugging
|
||||
uv run main.py --stage 1 # Download only
|
||||
uv run main.py --stage 2 # Migration only
|
||||
uv run main.py --stage 3 # Planning only
|
||||
uv run main.py --stage 4 # Repository building only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Advanced Queries
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd uscode-git-blame
|
||||
|
||||
# See who last modified healthcare provisions
|
||||
git blame Title-42-Public-Health-and-Welfare/Chapter-06A-Public-Health-Service/Section-280g-15.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Track complete evolution of a section
|
||||
git log --follow --patch Title-42-Public-Health-and-Welfare/Chapter-06A-Public-Health-Service/Section-280g-15.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Compare major healthcare laws
|
||||
git diff PL-111-148..PL-117-328 --name-only | grep "Title-42"
|
||||
|
||||
# Find all changes by specific sponsor
|
||||
git log --author="Nancy Pelosi" --oneline
|
||||
|
||||
# See what changed in specific Congressional session
|
||||
git log --since="2021-01-03" --until="2023-01-03" --stat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Programmatic Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from git import Repo
|
||||
from pathlib import Path
|
||||
|
||||
repo = Repo("uscode-git-blame")
|
||||
|
||||
# Find most frequently modified sections
|
||||
section_changes = {}
|
||||
for commit in repo.iter_commits():
|
||||
for file in commit.stats.files:
|
||||
section_changes[file] = section_changes.get(file, 0) + 1
|
||||
|
||||
# Analyze sponsor activity
|
||||
sponsor_activity = {}
|
||||
for commit in repo.iter_commits():
|
||||
author = commit.author.name
|
||||
sponsor_activity[author] = sponsor_activity.get(author, 0) + 1
|
||||
|
||||
# Track healthcare law evolution
|
||||
healthcare_commits = [c for c in repo.iter_commits(paths="Title-42-Public-Health-and-Welfare")]
|
||||
```

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Logging & Alerts:**
|
||||
- Comprehensive structured logging with timestamps in `logs/` directory
|
||||
- Individual log files per script: `main_orchestrator.log`, `download_cache.log`, etc.
|
||||
- Alert on API rate limit approaches or failures
|
||||
- Monitor git repository integrity and size growth
|
||||
- Track data validation errors and resolution
|
||||
- Centralized logging configuration across all pipeline scripts
|
||||
|
||||
## Legal & Ethical Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Integrity
|
||||
- **📋 Official Sources Only**: Uses only House and Congress.gov official sources
|
||||
- **🔒 No Modifications**: Preserves original legal text without alterations
|
||||
- **📝 Proper Attribution**: Credits all legislative authorship accurately
|
||||
- **⚖️ Legal Compliance**: Respects copyright and maintains public domain status
|
||||
|
||||
### Privacy & Ethics
|
||||
- **🌐 Public Information**: Uses only publicly available Congressional data
|
||||
- **👥 Respectful Attribution**: Honors Congressional service with accurate representation
|
||||
- **📊 Transparency**: All source code and methodologies are open and auditable
|
||||
- **🎯 Non-Partisan**: Objective tracking without political interpretation
|
||||
|
||||

USC Git Blame Repository Builder
|
||||
|
||||
Executes git commit plans to build the final blame-enabled repository:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Creates hierarchical USC file structure (Title/Chapter/Section)
|
||||
2. Converts HTML to clean markdown with proper formatting
|
||||
3. Executes git commits with proper attribution and timestamps
|
||||
4. Validates git blame functionality and attribution accuracy
|
||||
5. Generates repository metadata and documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Architecture: Download → Cache → Migrate → Plan → **Build**
|
||||
This script handles the final step: git repository construction.

|
||||
House Bill Summaries
|
||||
- 2.0 January 2015 Version 2.0
|
||||
House and Senate Bill Summaries
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
At the direction of the Appropriations Committee within the United States House of
|
||||
Representatives, in support of the Legislative Branch Bulk Data Task Force, the Government
|
||||
Publishing Office (GPO), the Library of Congress (LOC), the Clerk of the House, and the Secretary
|
||||
of the Senate are making Bill Summaries in XML format available through the GPO’s Federal
|
||||
Digital System (FDsys) Bulk Data repository starting with the 113th Congress. The FDsys Bulk
|
||||
Data repository for Bill Summaries is available at
|
||||
<http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata/BILLSUM>.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.1 Types of Bill Summaries
|
||||
|
||||
Bill summaries are summaries of bills or resolutions, as well as other document types associated
|
||||
with the legislative history of a measure such as amendments, committee reports, conference
|
||||
reports, or public laws (enacted bills or joint resolutions). A bill summary describes the most
|
||||
significant provisions of a piece of legislation and details the effects the legislative text may have on
|
||||
current law and Federal programs. Bill summaries are written as a result of a Congressional action
|
||||
and may not always map to a printed bill version. Bill summaries are authored by the Congressional
|
||||
Research Service (CRS) of the Library of Congress. As stated in Public Law 91-510 (2 USC 166
|
||||
(d)(6)), one of the duties of CRS is "to prepare summaries and digests of bills and resolutions of a
|
||||
public general nature introduced in the Senate or House of Representatives.”
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Bills
|
||||
|
||||
- House Bill (HR)
|
||||
- Senate Bill (S)
|
||||
|
||||
A bill is a legislative proposal before Congress. Bills from each house are assigned a number in
|
||||
the order in which they are introduced, starting at the beginning of each Congress (first and
|
||||
second sessions). Public bills pertain to matters that affect the general public or classes of
|
||||
citizens, while private bills pertain to individual matters that affect individuals and organizations,
|
||||
such as claims against the Government.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Joint Resolutions
|
||||
|
||||
- House Joint Resolution (HJRES)
|
||||
- Senate Joint Resolution (SJRES)
|
||||
|
||||
A joint resolution is a legislative proposal that requires the approval of both houses and the
|
||||
signature of the President, just as a bill does. Resolutions from each house are assigned a number
|
||||
in the order in which they are introduced, starting at the beginning of each Congress (first and
|
||||
second sessions). There is no real difference between a bill and a joint resolution. Joint
|
||||
resolutions generally are used for limited matters, such as a single appropriation for a specific
|
||||
purpose. They are also used to propose amendments to the Constitution.
|
||||
1A joint resolution has the force of law, if approved. Joint resolutions become a part of the
|
||||
Constitution when three-quarters of the states have ratified them; they do not require the
|
||||
President's signature.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Concurrent Resolutions
|
||||
|
||||
- House Concurrent Resolution (HCONRES)
|
||||
- Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCONRES)
|
||||
|
||||
A concurrent resolution is a legislative proposal that requires the approval of both houses but
|
||||
does not require the signature of the President and does not have the force of law. Concurrent
|
||||
resolutions generally are used to make or amend rules that apply to both houses. They are also
|
||||
used to express the sentiments of both of the houses. For example, a concurrent resolution is used
|
||||
to set the time of Congress' adjournment. It may also be used by Congress to convey
|
||||
congratulations to another country on the anniversary of its independence.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Simple Resolutions
|
||||
|
||||
- House Simple Resolution (HRES)
|
||||
- Senate Simple Resolution (SRES)
|
||||
|
||||
A simple resolution is a legislative proposal that addresses matters entirely within the prerogative
|
||||
of one house or the other. It requires neither the approval of the other house nor the signature of
|
||||
the President, and it does not have the force of law. Most simple resolutions concern the rules of
|
||||
one house. They are also used to express the sentiments of a single house. For example, a simple
|
||||
resolution may offer condolences to the family of a deceased member of Congress, or it may
|
||||
express the sense of the Senate or House on foreign policy or other executive business.
|
||||
|
||||
Additional information about bill types can be found at
|
||||
<http://www.gpo.gov/help/index.html#about_congressional_bills.htm>.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2 Scope of Bulk Data
|
||||
|
||||
The Bill Summaries bulk data collection on FDsys includes XML bills summaries from the 113 th
|
||||
Congress forward.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.3 Bulk Data Downloads
|
||||
|
||||
The Bulk Data repository is organized by Congress and bill type. A ZIP file is available for each
|
||||
bill type and contains Bill Summaries XML files for that bill type within a specific Congress.
|
||||
Each Bill Summaries XML file contains summaries of legislation under consideration for a
|
||||
specific measure.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

## 4. Data Set
|
||||
|
||||
Bill Summaries data is provided to GPO by the Library of Congress, and XML files are available
|
||||
for bulk data download on the FDsys Bulk Data repository starting with the 113th Congress
|
||||
(2013-2014). Bill Summaries XML files are not available through FDsys search or browse; they
|
||||
are only available in the FDsys Bulk Data repository.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, there are no restrictions on re-use of information in the Bill Summaries data set
|
||||
because U.S. Government works are not subject to copyright protection and are in the public
|
||||
domain. GPO and its legislative branch data partners do not restrict downstream uses of Bill
|
||||
Summaries data, except that independent providers should be aware that only GPO and its
|
||||
legislative branch data partners are entitled to represent that they are the providers of official Bill
|
||||
Summaries data.
|
||||
|
||||
Bill Summaries XML files can be manipulated and enriched to operate in the various
|
||||
applications that users may devise. GPO and its legislative branch data partners cannot vouch for
|
||||
the authenticity of data that is not under GPO’s control. GPO is providing free access to Bill
|
||||
Summaries XML files for display in various applications and mash-ups outside the FDsys
|
||||
domain. GPO does not endorse third party applications, and does not evaluate how the original
|
||||
legal content is displayed on other sites. Consumers should form their own conclusions as to
|
||||
whether the downloaded data can be relied upon within an application or mash-up.

|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
At the direction of the Appropriations Committee within the United States House of
|
||||
Representatives, in support of the Legislative Branch Bulk Data Task Force, the Government
|
||||
Printing Office (GPO), the Library of Congress (LOC), the Clerk of the House, and the Secretary
|
||||
of the Senate are making bills in XML format available through the GPO’s Federal Digital
|
||||
System (FDsys) Bulk Data repository starting with the 113th Congress. The FDsys Bulk Data
|
||||
repository for bills is available at <http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata/BILLS>. Please see FDsys
|
||||
at <http://www.fdsys.gov> for access to individual House and Senate Congressional Bills in PDF
|
||||
and HTML formats.
|
||||
|
||||
### Types of Legislation
|
||||
|
||||
Four types of legislation are available on the Bulk Data repository. This section provides a brief
|
||||
overview of each type of legislation.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Bills
|
||||
|
||||
- House Bill (HR)
|
||||
- Senate Bill (S)
|
||||
|
||||
A bill is a legislative proposal before Congress. Bills from each house are assigned a number in
|
||||
the order in which they are introduced, starting at the beginning of each Congress (first and
|
||||
second sessions). Public bills pertain to matters that affect the general public or classes of
|
||||
citizens, while private bills pertain to individual matters that affect individuals and organizations,
|
||||
such as claims against the Government.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Joint Resolutions
|
||||
|
||||
- House Joint Resolution (HJRES)
|
||||
- Senate Joint Resolution (SJRES)
|
||||
|
||||
A joint resolution is a legislative proposal that requires the approval of both houses and the
|
||||
signature of the President, just as a bill does. Resolutions from each house are assigned a number
|
||||
in the order in which they are introduced, starting at the beginning of each Congress (first and
|
||||
second sessions). There is no real difference between a bill and a joint resolution. Joint
|
||||
resolutions generally are used for limited matters, such as a single appropriation for a specific
|
||||
purpose. They are also used to propose amendments to the Constitution. A joint resolution has
|
||||
the force of law, if approved. Joint resolutions become a part of the Constitution when three-
|
||||
quarters of the states have ratified them; they do not require the President's signature.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Concurrent Resolutions
|
||||
|
||||
- House Concurrent Resolution (HCONRES)
|
||||
- Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCONRES)
|
||||
|
||||
A concurrent resolution is a legislative proposal that requires the approval of both houses but
|
||||
does not require the signature of the President and does not have the force of law. Concurrent
|
||||
resolutions generally are used to make or amend rules that apply to both houses. They are also
|
||||
used to express the sentiments of both of the houses. For example, a concurrent resolution is used
|
||||
to set the time of Congress' adjournment. It may also be used by Congress to convey
|
||||
congratulations to another country on the anniversary of its independence.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Simple Resolutions
|
||||
|
||||
- House Simple Resolution (HRES)
|
||||
- Senate Simple Resolution (SRES)
|
||||
|
||||
A simple resolution is a legislative proposal that addresses matters entirely within the prerogative
|
||||
of one house or the other. It requires neither the approval of the other house nor the signature of
|
||||
the President, and it does not have the force of law. Most simple resolutions concern the rules of
|
||||
one house. They are also used to express the sentiments of a single house. For example, a simple
|
||||
resolution may offer condolences to the family of a deceased member of Congress, or it may
|
||||
give "advice" on foreign policy or other executive business.
|
||||
|
||||
Additional information about bill types and versions is available at
|
||||
<http://www.gpo.gov/help/index.html#about_congressional_bills.htm>.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scope of Bulk Data
|
||||
|
||||
The Bills data collection on FDsys includes XML bill texts from the 113 th Congress forward.
|
||||
|
||||
### Bulk Data Downloads
|
||||
|
||||
The Bulk Data repository is organized by Congress, session, and bill type. A ZIP file is available
|
||||
for each bill type and contains all bill XML files for that bill type within a specific session and
|
||||
Congress.
|
||||
|
||||
## Authenticity of Bill XML Files
|
||||
|
||||
### Q. What is the data set available for bills in XML?
|
||||
|
||||
A. Bill files in XML are provided to GPO by the House of Representatives and Senate and are
|
||||
available starting in 2013 with the 113th Congress.
|
||||
|
||||
### Q. How do the bulk XML files offered on the FDsys Bulk Data repository relate to the digitally signed PDF files available on FDsys?
|
||||
|
||||
A. GPO makes Congressional Bills from the 103rd Congress forward available on FDsys in
|
||||
digitally signed PDF and HTML formats. Generally, House and Senate bills from the 111th
|
||||
Congress forward are also available in XML on FDsys.
|
||||
|
||||
### Q. What does the term “digitally signed” mean?
|
||||
|
||||
A. Currently, GPO uses digital signature technology on PDF documents to add a visible Seal of
|
||||
Authenticity (a graphic of an eagle) to authenticated and certified documents. The technology
|
||||
allows GPO to assure data integrity, and provide users with assurance that the content is
|
||||
unchanged since it was disseminated by GPO. A signed and certified document also displays a
|
||||
blue ribbon icon near the Seal of Authenticity and in the Signatures tab within Adobe Acrobat or
|
||||
Reader. When users print a document that has been signed and certified by GPO, the Seal of
|
||||
Authenticity will automatically print on the document, but the blue ribbon will not print.
|
||||
|
||||
### Q. Are bill XML bulk data download files digitally signed?
|
||||
|
||||
A. No, XML files available for individual or bulk download are not digitally signed. They can be
|
||||
manipulated and enriched to operate in the various applications that users may devise. GPO is
|
||||
evaluating technology that could be used to digitally sign XML files on FDsys. Adding signed
|
||||
non-PDF files to FDsys would be an enhancement for FDsys users, but would not be used to
|
||||
restrict or adversely affect the XML bulk data downloads. The integrity of a bill XML file can be
|
||||
verified by checking its SHA-256 hash value against the hash value recorded in the PREMIS
|
||||
metadata file for each bill on FDsys.
|
||||
|
||||
### Q. What is the authenticity of bill XML files after they have been downloaded to another site?
|
||||
|
||||
A. We cannot vouch for the authenticity of data that is not under GPO’s control. GPO is
|
||||
providing free access to bill data via XML for display in various applications and mash-ups
|
||||
outside the FDsys domain. GPO does not endorse third party applications, and does not evaluate
|
||||
how our original legal content is displayed on other sites. Consumers should form their own
|
||||
conclusions as to whether the downloaded data can be relied upon within an application or mash-
|
||||
up. An application may link to the official bill files on FDsys to provide users with additional
|
||||
assurance. The authenticated digitally-signed PDF is available on FDsys at
|
||||
<http://www.fdsys.gov>.
|
||||
|
||||
### Q. Does GPO assert any control over downstream uses of bulk data?
|
||||
|
||||
A. In general, there are no restrictions on re-use of information in bills because U.S.
|
||||
Government works are not subject to copyright. GPO does not restrict downstream uses of bill
|
||||
data, except that independent providers should be aware that only GPO and its legislative
|
||||
branch data partners are entitled to represent that they are the providers of the official versions of
|
||||
bills.
|
||||
|
||||
### Q. How can re-publishers indicate the source of a bill XML file?
|
||||
|
||||
A. Re-publishers of bills in XML may cite FDsys and GPO as the source of their data, and they are free to characterize the quality of data as it appears on their site.
|

|
||||
|
||||
The resources directory at <http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata/BILLS/resources> contains the
|
||||
current version of the DTD, stylesheets, and associated graphics which, when placed in the same
|
||||
directory as a bill XML file, are used to display the XML file in a browser. Additional
|
||||
information about bills in XML can be found at <http://xml.house.gov>.

## Proposed Changes ##
|
||||
|
||||
N/A
|
||||
|
||||
## Approved Changes ##
|
||||
|
||||
2.1.0 - Approved version of uslm-2.1.0.xsd along with uslm-components-2.1.0.xsd, uslm-table-module-2.1.0.xsd, and uslm.css for the Remaining Bill Versions project.
|
||||
|
||||
The 2.1 schema series changes from the 2.0 schema series support the following three primary goals:
|
||||
1. Add support for amendment document types.
|
||||
2. Add and modify the schema to support the historical Statutes at Large project.
|
||||
3. Constrain the allowed tagging to better support the original design intent of the schema and disallow unintended constructs.
|
||||
|
||||
Schema:
|
||||
- Change the amendment document type.
|
||||
- Add amendPreface, amendMeta, amendMain, and officialTitleAmendment elements.
|
||||
- The amendMeta element extends the meta element to add the amendDegree and amendStage elements.
|
||||
- The amendPreface element extends the preface element to add the draftingOffice element.
|
||||
- The amendMain element model adds new elements amendmentInstruction and amendmentContent and defines the new attribute amendmentInstructionLineNumbering.
|
||||
- Add the engrossedAmendment document type employing the content model of the amendment document type.
|
||||
- The preface element content model has been expanded to match existing documents.
|
||||
- Disallow the content element in the preface element content model in favor of a specific definition matching existing documents.
|
||||
- Add PositionedNoteType as the type for the positioned notes, disallowing the content element in favor of elements that match existing documents.
|
||||
- Change the ColumnType element definition to no longer be based on the ContentType element while ensuring it matches existing documents.
|
||||
- Restrict the figure element content model to match existing documents while allowing for xhtml:img and MathML content.
|
||||
- Change the ContentType type definition to remove the ability to add any element from a foreign namespace without using the foreign element as a wrapper with exceptions for xhtml:table, xhtml:img, and mathml:math.
|
||||
- Replace the p element content model with a specific list of elements found in existing documents.
|
||||
- Change the recital element definition to have a more complex content model to match existing documents.
|
||||
- Restructure the XSD schema documents to facilitate schema processing.
|
||||
- A single top-level XSD file imports component schema files (USLM, tables, MathML, and Senate metadata).
|
||||
- References to other components internal to the component schemas are made by namespace only.
|
||||
- Namespace references avoid potential circular reference issues during schema processing.
|
||||
|
||||
CSS:
|
||||
Version: 2.33 2024-08-23
|
||||
Previous version: Version 2.29 2024-03-18
|
||||
|
||||
- Adds styling for new engrossedAmendment and amendment document types.
|
||||
- Adds styling for new amendMeta, amendPreface, amendMain elements.
|
||||
- Adds styling for elements and attributes used in bills and resolutions in document stages prior to enrolled, particular those used in the preface.
|
||||
- Adds styling for various layouts, such as side by side, for use in the statutes at large digitisation project.
|
||||
- Resets docTitle styling to use the standard font instead of Old English.
|
||||
- Handle multiple resolving clauses better.
|
||||
- Add support for the hierarchical level placement of num and heading in appropriations style.
|
||||
- Add support for sidenotes in tables.
|
||||
- Add classes for reported bill styling.
|
||||
- Use current syntax for `::before` pseudo-element.
|
||||
- Add default styling for addedText and deletedText elements.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.17 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.17.xsd along with corresponding update to table module for the Digitized Statutes at Large in USLM XML project.
|
||||
|
||||
Schema:
|
||||
- Allow `<referenceMarker>` element to appear even when there is no hierarchical level designator (`<num>`element).
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.16 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.16.xsd along with corresponding update to table module for the Digitized Statutes at Large in USLM XML project.
|
||||
|
||||
Schema:
|
||||
- Add `<firstPageHeading>` and `<firstPageSubheading>` to preface elements.
|
||||
- Fix `numType` description to include alphanumeric num element values.
|
||||
- Add `<role>` element to `<signatures>` element for groups of signatories.
|
||||
- Add a `<referenceMarker>` element for the case that a level requires both a hierarchical level alphanumeric designation and a separate additional designation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.15 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.15.xsd along with corresponding update to table module for the Digitized Statutes at Large in USLM XML project.
|
||||
|
||||
Schema:
|
||||
- Allow table in recital elements.
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.14 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.14.xsd along with corresponding update to table module for the Digitized Statutes at Large in USLM XML project.
|
||||
|
||||
Schema:
|
||||
- Add MathML 3 schema.
|
||||
- Number the table module for more precision.
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.13 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.13.xsd and uslm.css.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation Changes:
|
||||
- Clarified that the temporalId attribute is not currently used.
|
||||
- Refined the discussion of language identifiers to match current practice, including compatibility with AKN.
|
||||
- Improvements to the Basic Model description.
|
||||
- Clarified that related documents in USLM2 are those added by the clerk or drafter, not every possible related document.
|
||||
- Clarified that the `quotedContent` and `quotedText` elements are used in USC notes and bills amending law (not amendment documents).
|
||||
- Defined `dc:date` usage in USLM2 more precisely.
|
||||
|
||||
Display:
|
||||
- Added display style attributes indicating added or deleted content for use in bills, resolutions, and amendment documents prior to enrollment.
|
||||
|
||||
Content:
|
||||
- Added the `endorsement` element for use in bills and resolutions prior to enrollment. The content model is similar to the preface content model.
|
||||
- Loosened the content model to allow `resolvingClause` elements in more locations to match current usage.
|
||||
- Allow a looser order of child elements in `signature` elements to match current usage.
|
||||
- Added `constitutionalAmendment` document type.
|
||||
- Allow `p` elements in action descriptions.
|
||||
- Add a `centerRunningHead` element analogous to the `leftRunningHead` and `rightRunningHead` elements.
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.12 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.12.xsd along with corresponding update to table module.
|
||||
|
||||
Summary:
|
||||
2.0.12 includes necessary change in tables for production, fixes to 2.0.11 to ensure validity of changes approved by stakeholders for additional bill stages, documentation updates, including notification of potential content model changes in the next minor (2.1) release.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation Changes:
|
||||
- Fixed various typos in the documentation in the schema.
|
||||
|
||||
Attribute Changes:
|
||||
- Allowed attributes in other namespaces on several elements (`<date>`, table elements `<td>`, `<th>`, `<tr>`, `<tbody>`, `<tfoot>`, `<thead>`, `<caption>`, `<table>`).
|
||||
- Allowed XmlSpecialAttrs, IdentificationGroup, and ClassificationGroup attributes on SignatureType.
|
||||

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Documentation Changes:
|
||||
- Fixed numerous typos in the documentation in the schema.
|
||||
- Clarified the documentation on identifiers used for specified versions of a document.
|
||||
- Added the documentation that items are planned to be removed or changed in the upcoming 2.1 version of this schema:
|
||||
- the definition of the amendment element (which was defined for USLM1) will change.
|
||||
- the attributes occurrence, actionDate, pos, posText, posCount from the amendingAction element, since as far as we know, they are unused, will be removed.
|
||||
- the leaders attribute on the column element was marked as deprecated and may be removed in 2.1.
|
||||
|
||||
Attribute Changes:
|
||||
- Added the leaders attribute to the th element, as it is for the td element.
|
||||
- Added the orientation attribute to tables and block elements to allow portrait or landscape orientation.
|
||||
- Added the default value to the leaderAlign attribute.
|
||||

|
||||
- Added the attribute committeeId to the committee element.
|
||||
|
||||
Element Changes:
|
||||
- Added a new element attestation to the list of allowed elements after the main element.
|
||||

|
||||
- Added currentChamber, distributionCode to the meta and preface elements.
|
||||
- Added notes to the list of allowed elements where note is allowed (preface, referenceItem, and inline elements).
|
||||
- Allow mixed content in the signature element.
|
||||
- Added elements sponsor, cosponsor, and nonsponsor to the actionDescription element.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.10 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.10.xsd along with corresponding update to table module and CSS.
|
||||
- Updated uslm.xsd to 2.0.10 for backward-compatibility support for U.S. Code Appendices in USLM 1 format.
|
||||
- Updated uslm.css to 2.17 for improved footnote rendering, inEffect support, and to stay in sync with OLRC updates.
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.9 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.9.xsd with support for Statute Compilations (COMPS). Changes between 2.0.4 and 2.0.9.
|
||||
- Removed use of dcterms namespace (for XMetal support)
|
||||
- Added "inEffect" value to StatusEnum as the default
|
||||
- Added new values to StyleTypeEnum from the @other-style DTD attribute
|
||||
- Added "editorial" value to NoteTypeEnum
|
||||
- Added "inEffect" attribute, similar to Comps dtd
|
||||
- Added id and identifier attributes to tables
|
||||
- Allow "editorialContent" in the preface
|
||||
- Restore support for U.S. Code Appendix structures (was removed in 2.0.4)
|
||||
- Add "listHeading" to lists
|
||||

|
||||
- Added new propertyTypes: currentThroughPublicLaw, containsShortTitle, createdDate
|
||||
- Allow mixed content in action element
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.4 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.4.xsd with added repealAndReserve amending action type, added support for nested lists, and signatures allowed at the end of levels. The “repealAndReserve” amending action type was added because we encountered a combined action within FR amendments. The support for nested lists was added because we encountered nested lists on the regulatory side, but not previously on the legislative side. The support for signatures at the end of levels was added because FR rules contain these when a rule involves multiple agencies.
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.3 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.3.xsd with updates for enrolled bills, public laws, Statutes at Large, Federal Register, and Code of Federal Regulations including use of processing instructions for white space and the foreign element for use in regulatory data.
|
||||
|
||||
2.0.0 - Approved version of uslm-2.0.0.xsd with updates for enrolled bills, public laws, Statutes at Large, Federal Register, and Code of Federal Regulations. See previous folder in the main branch.
|
||||
|
||||
1.0.18 - Approved version of USLM.xsd that was updated for House Manual and the addition of a version attribute. See previous folder in the main branch.

# USLM Schema #
|
||||
In support of the United States Legislative Branch XML Working Group and in accordance with [2 U.S.C. 181](https://www.govinfo.gov/link/uscode/2/181), the Government Publishing Office (GPO) is making the United States Legislative Markup (USLM) XML schema available as an authoritative source on GitHub.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Schema Versions ##
|
||||
Approved versions of the schema are in the main branch. If there are proposed changes to the schema, the changes will be in a proposed branch as a new draft version of the schema. A major.minor.point structure is used to identify the schema version, and the schema version is recorded as an attribute at the root level. The point number is incremented to indicate a non-breaking change while the minor number is incremented to indicate a breaking change. Breaking changes will only be implemented after all other options have been exhausted. Please refer to [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for a summary of changes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Proposed Branch ##
|
||||
As needed, a proposed branch will be created from the main branch. In addition to the files from the main branch, the proposed branch may also contain draft versions of the USLM 2.x schema, draft sample files, and draft CSS files.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## User Guide and Review Guide ##
|
||||
Please refer to the USLM User Guide in [PDF](USLM-User-Guide.pdf) or [Markdown](USLM-User-Guide.md), the USLM 2.x Review Guide in [PDF](USLM-2_0-Review-Guide-v2_0_12.pdf) or [Markdown](USLM-2_0-Review-Guide-v2_0_12.md), the USLM 2.0.17 Review Guide in [PDF](USLM-2_0-Review-Guide-2_0_17.pdf) or [Markdown](USLM-2_0-Review-Guide-2_0_17.md), and the USLM 2.1 Review Guide in [PDF](USLM-2_1-ReviewGuide.pdf) or [Markdown](USLM-2_1-ReviewGuide.md) for additional information about the schema.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## XML Working Group Schema Management Guidelines ##
|
||||
The XML Working Group manages the USLM schema under the following guidelines.
|
||||
* When changes are made to the schema as a result of ongoing XML modeling activities or other proposals, new point releases will be made available on GovInfo and in the Proposed branch of the USLM GitHub repository.
|
||||
* Upon approval from the XML Working Group, USLM schema files in the USLM GitHub repository Proposed branch will be moved into the Main branch.
|
||||
* Updates to the User Guide and other supporting materials in the USLM GitHub repository will be made as needed.
|
||||
* As in the past, every effort will be made not to create breaking changes. If a breaking change is deemed necessary, the first digit in the version number will be incremented, and appropriate documentation will be created to describe the differences.
|
||||
* All adopted versions of the schema will continue to be made available on GovInfo and in the USLM GitHub repository.
|
||||
* USLM XML files may validate against any of the adopted schema versions.
|
||||
|
||||

# 1. Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This Review Guide is intended to help readers to understand changes in the
|
||||
2.0.17 version of the United States Legislative Markup (USLM) schema so that
|
||||
they can provide meaningful feedback on the changes. This guide assumes that
|
||||
the reader is familiar with the 2.0.12 version of the USLM schema and is
|
||||
generally knowledgeable about XML schemas in XSD format. For more information
|
||||
about the 2.0.12 and 1.0 versions of this schema, see section 4 of this
|
||||
document for links to existing documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
This guide reflects USLM schema version 2.0.17.
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Conventions Used in the User Guide
|
||||
|
||||
The following conventions are used in the User Guide:
|
||||
|
||||
- XML element names are denoted with angled brackets. For example, `<title>` is
|
||||
an XML element.
|
||||
|
||||
- XML attribute names are denoted with an “@” prefix. For example, `@href` is an
|
||||
XML attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enumerated values are denoted in a fixed width font. For example, `landscape` is an enumeration.
|
||||
|
||||
- String values are denoted with double quotes. For example, `“title1-s1”` is a
|
||||
string value.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new ***term*** being defined is shown in bold italic.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new **element** or **attribute** being defined is shown in bold.
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Brief USLM Background
|
||||
|
||||
The USLM schema was first developed in 2013 by the Office of the Law Revision
|
||||
Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives (OLRC) in order to produce the
|
||||
United States Code in XML. Since 2013, the OLRC regularly produces a USLM
|
||||
version of the United States Code for download at
|
||||
<http://uscode.house.gov/download/download.shtml>. The USLM version of the U.S.
|
||||
Code is updated continuously as new laws are enacted.
|
||||
|
||||
The original goals of the USLM schema included:
|
||||
|
||||
1. *Allow existing titles of the United States Code to be converted into XML.*
|
||||
|
||||
2. *Support ongoing maintenance of the United States Code.*
|
||||
|
||||
3. *Support the drafting of new positive law codification bills and related
|
||||
materials.*
|
||||
|
||||
4. *Provide a flexible foundation to meet future needs of Congress.*
|
||||
|
||||
5. *Compatibility with existing legislative documents in other XML formats.*
|
||||
|
||||
The 2.0.12 version of the USLM schema extended its use to the following
|
||||
document sets:
|
||||
|
||||
- Enrolled Bills and Resolutions
|
||||
|
||||
- Public Laws
|
||||
|
||||
- Statutes at Large
|
||||
|
||||
- Statute Compilations
|
||||
|
||||
- Federal Register (FR)
|
||||
|
||||
- Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
|
||||
|
||||
The 2.0.17 version of the USLM schema further extends its use to
|
||||
|
||||
- Bill and Resolution document stages prior to enrollment
|
||||
|
||||
- Older Statutes at Large volumes
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Existing Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
User documentation for the 1.0 version of the schema can be found at
|
||||
<https://github.com/usgpo/uslm/blob/main/USLM-User-Guide.pdf> and
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
# 5. What Has Not Changed
|
||||
|
||||
Version 2.0.17 of USLM is an incremental change to the 2.0.12 schema. While
|
||||
some new elements have been added and a few content models have been extended,
|
||||
the fundamental design of the schema has not changed. Documents that were valid
|
||||
in version 2.0.12 are also valid in version 2.0.17 of the USLM schema.
|
||||
|
||||
We have added one new document type, and a number of elements and attributes.
|
||||
Some content models have been loosened to allow constructs that we have seen in
|
||||
bill and resolution document stages prior to enrollment, and in older
|
||||
Statutes at Large volumes.
|
||||
|
||||
# 6. Schema Changes
|
||||
|
||||
## 6.1 New Document Type
|
||||
|
||||
The **`<constitutionalAmendment>`** element is a document containing an
|
||||
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. It has the same structure
|
||||
as other types of law documents.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6.2 New Elements
|
||||
|
||||
The `<leftRunningHead>` and `<rightRunningHead>` elements have been joined by a
|
||||
**`<centerRunningHead>`** element.
|
||||
|
||||
The **`<endorsement>`** element is a new element used in bills and resolutions
|
||||
prior to enrollment. It is found at the end of the document and contains a
|
||||
selection of document metadata. It is usually printed sideways.
|
||||
|
||||
The **`<addedText>`** and **`<deletedText>`** elements are used to indicate
|
||||
added or deleted content that amends a bill or resolution in amendment
|
||||
documents and reported bills. The styling is determined by the attributes set
|
||||
on the committee whose ID is used in the `@origin` attribute of the content.
|
||||
The existing elements `<quotedText>` and `<quotedContent>` are used to indicate
|
||||
amendments to law.
|
||||
|
||||
The `<preface>` element now allows two new elements: **`<firstPageHeading>`**
|
||||
and **`<firstPageSubheading>`**.
|
||||
|
||||
A **`<referenceMarker>`** element is allowed with or instead of a `<num>`
|
||||
element for cases when a level requires a non-hierarchical designation with or
|
||||
instead of the usual hierarchical designation.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6.3 New Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
The **`@addedDisplayStyle`** and **`@deletedDisplayStyle`** attributes declare
|
||||
the styles used in bills, resolutions, and amendment documents prior to
|
||||
enrollment to indicate added or deleted content that amends bills and
|
||||
resolutions. These attributes are set on the `committee` element defining the
|
||||
committee that produced the reported bill or amendments document.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6.4 Mathematical Formulae
|
||||
|
||||
USLM 2.0.17 incorporates the MathML 3 schema. This provides support for
|
||||
representing most mathematical formulae.
|
||||

# Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This Review Guide is intended to help users to understand changes in the
|
||||
2.0 version of the United States Legislative Markup (USLM) schema so
|
||||
that users can provide meaningful feedback on the changes. This guide
|
||||
assumes that the reader is familiar with the 1.0 version of the USLM
|
||||
schema and is generally knowledgeable about XML schemas in XSD format.
|
||||
For more information about the 1.0 version, see section 4 of this
|
||||
document for links to existing documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
This guide reflects USLM schema version 2.0.12.
|
||||
|
||||
# Conventions Used in the User Guide
|
||||
|
||||
The following conventions are used in the User Guide:
|
||||
|
||||
- XML element names are denoted with angled brackets. For example,
|
||||
\<title\> is an XML element.
|
||||
|
||||
- XML attribute names are denoted with an “@” prefix. For example, @href
|
||||
is an XML attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enumerated values are denoted in courier. For example, landscape is an
|
||||
enumeration.
|
||||
|
||||
- String values are denoted with double quotes. For example, “title1-s1”
|
||||
is a string value.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new ***term*** being defined is shown in bold italic.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new **element** or **attribute** being defined is shown in bold.
|
||||
|
||||
# Brief USLM Background
|
||||
|
||||
The USLM schema was first developed in 2013 by the Office of the Law
|
||||
Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives (OLRC) in order to
|
||||
produce the United States Code in XML. Since 2013, the OLRC regularly
|
||||
produces a USLM version of the United States Code for download at
|
||||
<http://uscode.house.gov/download/download.shtml>. The USLM version of
|
||||
the U.S. Code is updated continuously as new laws are enacted.
|
||||
|
||||
The original goals of the USLM schema included:
|
||||
|
||||
1. *Allow existing titles of the United States Code to be converted
|
||||
into XML.*
|
||||
|
||||
2. *Support ongoing maintenance of the United States Code.*
|
||||
|
||||
3. *Support the drafting of new positive law codification bills and
|
||||
related materials.*
|
||||
|
||||
4. *Provide a flexible foundation to meet future needs of Congress.*
|
||||
|
||||
5. *Compatibility with existing legislative documents in other XML
|
||||
formats.*
|
||||
|
||||
Building on the “flexible foundation” in goal number four above, the
|
||||
Government Publishing Office (GPO) is coordinating the 2.0 update to
|
||||
USLM that extends its use to the following document sets[^1]:
|
||||
|
||||
- Enrolled Bills
|
||||
|
||||
- Public Laws
|
||||
|
||||
- Statutes at Large
|
||||
|
||||
- Statute Compilations
|
||||
|
||||
- Federal Register (FR)
|
||||
|
||||
- Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

|
||||
|
||||
# What Has Not Changed
|
||||
|
||||
Version 2.0 of USLM is largely an incremental change to the schema.
|
||||
While many new elements have been added and several content models have
|
||||
been extended, the fundamental design of the schema has not changed. The
|
||||
following principles, documented in the 1.0 User Guide, continue in
|
||||
version 2.0:
|
||||
|
||||
- Abstract and Concrete Models
|
||||
|
||||
- Inheritance
|
||||
|
||||
- Attribute Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Core Document Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Metadata Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Hierarchy Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Versioning Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Presentation Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Relationship to HTML
|
||||
|
||||
- Identification Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Referencing Model
|
||||
|
||||
Many of these models have been extended to accommodate the additional
|
||||
document types and their structures. These extensions are
|
||||
backwards-compatible except in a few cases described below.
|
||||
|
||||
# Schema Changes
|
||||
|
||||
## Changed Models
|
||||
|
||||
The items described in this section are areas where the structure and
|
||||
content of the new document types required modifications to the schema
|
||||
model that are not compatible with the existing 1.0 model.
|
||||
|
||||
### Table of Contents and Indexes
|
||||
|
||||
The 1.0 model for a Table of Contents (ToC) was format-oriented, using
|
||||
the \<layout\> tag as a tabular form with rows and columns. The new 2.0
|
||||
model is semantic, where a ToC consists of a set of “items”.
|
||||
|
||||
There are three different types of items:
|
||||
|
||||
**\<**referenceItem**\>** *refers to specific content in the document
|
||||
(versus a concept or a grouping). The referenceItem may also contain
|
||||
lower level referenceItems if the content being referred to contains
|
||||
lower level content.*
|
||||
|
||||
**\<**headingItem**\>** *a columnar-type heading for the items below it.
|
||||
e.g. “Sec.” or “Page”. This is commonly repeated on following pages.*
|
||||
|
||||
**\<**groupItem**\>** *an item in a ToCIndex that collects a number of
|
||||
referenceItems or other groupItems under a heading. The groupItem may or
|
||||
may not refer to a specific place in the document. groupItems may also
|
||||
contain nested groupItems.*
|
||||
|
||||
Each item may consist of one or more of the following elements:
|
||||
|
||||
**\<**designator**\>** *<span class="mark">a reference to a numbered
|
||||
item in a table of contents or index.</span>*
|
||||
|
||||
**\<**label**\>** *<span class="mark">a textual reference in a table of
|
||||
contents or index.</span>*
|
||||
|
||||
**\<**target**\>** *<span class="mark">a reference to the target in a
|
||||
table of contents. This is used to provide various items in the last
|
||||
column of the multiple column table of contents entry. It has the same
|
||||
attributes as for references.</span>*
|
||||
|
||||
Below are two examples of this ToC model.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="images-for-review-guide/image1.png"
|
||||
style="width:6.5in;height:2.29931in" />
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="images-for-review-guide/image2.png"
|
||||
style="width:6.21953in;height:2.58815in" />
|
||||
|
||||
This same model, using items, designators, labels and targets, is also
|
||||
used for indexes that are found in legislative publications, such as the
|
||||
Popular Name Index. Below is an illustration of how the model can be
|
||||
used for an index.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="images-for-review-guide/image3.png"
|
||||
style="width:6.04833in;height:1.93017in" />
|
||||
|
||||
Elements of this type are:
|
||||
|
||||
> toc, **index, tableOfTitlesAndChapters, listOfAgencies,
|
||||
> listOfSectionsAffected, listOfBillsEnacted, listOfPublicLaws,
|
||||
> listOfPrivateLaws, listOfConcurrentResolutions, listOfProclamations,
|
||||
> popularNameIndex, subjectIndex**
|
||||
|
||||
### Notes
|
||||
|
||||
In version 1.0 of the schema, all notes had the same model, including
|
||||
footnotes and U.S. Code notes. The wider variety of notes in other
|
||||
document types drove a new model that has two types of notes:
|
||||
|
||||
#### NoteType Elements
|
||||
|
||||
A regular NoteType element is rendered directly in the main content
|
||||
flow. A U.S. Code note is an example of a NoteType element. Elements of
|
||||
this type are:
|
||||
|
||||
> note, sourceCredit, statutoryNote, editorialNote, changeNote,
|
||||
> **authority, source, effectiveDateNote, frDocID, billingCode,
|
||||
> editionNote, organizationNote, citationNote, explanationNote,
|
||||
> findingAidsNote**
|
||||
|
||||
#### PositionNotetype elements
|
||||
|
||||
The content of a PositionedNoteType element is rendered at a different
|
||||
position from where it logically refers. A footnote is an example of a
|
||||
positioned note. The positioned note has attributes for where it should
|
||||
be rendered. Elements of this type are:
|
||||
|
||||
> footnote, **sidenote, leftRunningHead, rightRunningHead, ear**[^2]**,
|
||||
> endMarker, page, line**
|
||||
|
||||
## New Models
|
||||
|
||||
### Collections
|
||||
|
||||
Some documents such as the Federal Register are a collection of other
|
||||
sub-documents. In fact, a daily issue of the Federal Register is a
|
||||
collection of collections. In order to support this type of document,
|
||||
USLM 2.0 introduces a new “CollectionType” which is described as:
|
||||
|
||||
> ***The collection core type is the basic element in a document that is
|
||||
> a collection of items, potentially from external sources. Collections
|
||||
> may contain individual items and/or other collections.***
|
||||
|
||||
A \<collection\> will contain a set of \<component\> elements. The
|
||||
\<component\> element acts as a wrapper for the individual document or
|
||||
fragment of the collection. The \<component\> may directly contain the
|
||||
content of the component, or it may point to the content by its @origin
|
||||
attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
The following elements are instances of CollectionType:
|
||||
|
||||
> **notices, rules, proposedRules, presidentialDocs, agencyGroup,
|
||||
> publicLaws, privateLaws, concurrentResolutions**
|
||||
|
||||
Below is an example of a collection used to group multiple
|
||||
document-specific units in an issue of the Federal Register:
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="images-for-review-guide/image4.png"
|
||||
style="width:6.5in;height:4.14444in" />
|
||||
|
||||
**
|
||||
**
|
||||
|
||||
### Lists
|
||||
|
||||
USLM 1.0 does not have a model for lists. It depends on an external
|
||||
namespace (XHTML) for them. Lists are common, and the requirements are
|
||||
subtly different from XHTML. Thus, it was determined that USLM 2.0 needs
|
||||
to have a simple model for them. The relevant elements are:
|
||||
|
||||
> **list, listHeading, listItem, listContent**
|
||||
|
||||
### Preface
|
||||
|
||||
The \<preface\> element is a container for rendered material that
|
||||
precedes the main body of the document.
|
||||
|
||||
> ***Documents may optionally have a preface before the main body of the
|
||||
> document. Some information in the preface may be duplicated in the
|
||||
> meta section. The content in the meta section would be normalized,
|
||||
> whereas the content in the preface would contain the text as it is
|
||||
> rendered for the user.***
|
||||
|
||||
For instance:
|
||||
|
||||
\<meta\>\<congress\>115\</congress\>\</meta\>
|
||||
|
||||
\<preface\>\<congress\>One Hundred Fifteenth Congress of the United
|
||||
States\</congress\>\</preface\>
|
||||
|
||||
The size and content of a preface can vary widely. For enrolled bills,
|
||||
the preface includes the Bill ID, the congress and session, and the
|
||||
enrolled dateline. The preface for a volume of a CFR title includes a
|
||||
cover page with numerous items, several notes and notices, a Table of
|
||||
Contents, publisher information, etc. See the illustration below. The
|
||||
content model for \<preface\> allows the same PropertyType elements as
|
||||
the \<meta\> section, a table of contents, notes, and other general
|
||||
content. Examples of these preface elements are in the Appendix.
|
||||
|
||||
### Back Matter
|
||||
|
||||
Back matter includes indexes, glossaries, lists and other general matter
|
||||
that may follow the end of the main body of the document. Back matter
|
||||
does not include appendix material. The back matter of a volume of a CFR
|
||||
title may be dozens of pages long and include the following: A note on
|
||||
finding aids, Table of CFR Title and Chapters, List of Agencies, List of
|
||||
sections affected, and an end marker.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rule Preamble
|
||||
|
||||
In the Federal Register, each rule has a rule preamble that usually
|
||||
follows a regular pattern, typically ending with “words of issuance”.
|
||||
|
||||
### Appropriations
|
||||
|
||||
Appropriation bills have unique constructs when compared to other
|
||||
legislative proposals. USLM 2.0 adds elements and attributes to capture
|
||||
the structure and data behind an appropriation account in an
|
||||
appropriation act.
|
||||
|
||||
> ***The \<appropriations\> element is used for nesting the various
|
||||
> levels of appropriation agencies, bureaus, and departments, as well as
|
||||
> the various budget areas within agencies, bureaus, and departments.
|
||||
> The level attribute is used to distinguish major, intermediate, and
|
||||
> small levels of appropriation language.***
|
||||
|
||||
Appropriation attributes:
|
||||
|
||||
@level ***The level attribute specifies which level the appropriations
|
||||
element is. This corresponds to major, intermediate, and small in the
|
||||
Bill DTD.***
|
||||
|
||||
@forType ***The forType attribute defines which type of budget grouping
|
||||
the appropriation is for (for example, agency, bureau, or account).***
|
||||
|
||||
@forvalue ***The forValue attribute defines which budget grouping the
|
||||
appropriation is for. This could be a URI that points to a web page
|
||||
giving details of the agency or account, for example.***
|
||||
|
||||
## New PropertyTypes
|
||||
|
||||
USLM 2.0 defines many more PropertyType elements. These elements are
|
||||
typically found in the meta and/or preface section of a document and
|
||||
capture important metadata about the document. This extension allows
|
||||
modeling of the following new document properties:
|
||||
|
||||
> **docStage, docPart, publicPrivate, congress, session, citableAs,
|
||||
> enrolledDateline, starPrint, processedBy, actionDescription,
|
||||
> actionInstruction, organization, volume, issue, startingPage,
|
||||
> endingPage, startingProvision, endingProvision, provisionRange,
|
||||
> affected, subject, coverTitle, coverText, currentThroughPublicLaw,
|
||||
> containsShortTitle, createdDate, currentChamber, distributionCode,
|
||||
> relatedDocument, relatedDocuments**
|
||||
|
||||
## New Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
A number of new attributes are introduced in USLM 2.0, including:
|
||||
|
||||
@styleType *The @styleType attribute is used to set the overall semantic
|
||||
type of the block. This has rendering implications. Only a predefined
|
||||
set of values is allowed, which were carried over from Bill DTD and Comp
|
||||
DTD styles, such as “OLC” and “USC”.*
|
||||
|
||||
@scope *Use the @scope attribute to specify the scope within which the
|
||||
@identifier attribute is valid. Typically, @scope is formatted as a URL,
|
||||
referring to a specific context. @scope is used for terms within in
|
||||
definitions to specify the scope of the definition.*
|
||||
|
||||
@legisDate *The @legisDate attribute is used for a logical legislative
|
||||
date, which may be different from the calendar date.*
|
||||
|
||||
@verticalSpace *The @verticalSpace attribute indicates the amount of
|
||||
vertical space associated with a line break (\<br\>) element. If the
|
||||
attribute is not present, single line (i.e. the next line) is the
|
||||
default. If the attribute is present, the value is the amount of space
|
||||
to allow, in addition to the normal position of the next line. The value
|
||||
may specify units, using CSS syntax (e.g. "4em" or "12pt"). If no units
|
||||
are given, the units are assumed to be points. The values "nextPage" and
|
||||
"nextColumn" are used to force a page break or column break.*
|
||||
|
||||
@inEffect *@inEffect is a Boolean attribute that is used for provisions
|
||||
that are not in effect in the law at the time of the document
|
||||
publication. This attribute is typically used in statute compilations.
|
||||
The default is “true”.*
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to these USLM attributes, attributes from other namespaces
|
||||
are allowed in various elements, including table elements.
|
||||
|
||||
## Model Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
The items in this section have been extended from USLM 1.0 for
|
||||
compatibility. Both existing and new documents are valid against the
|
||||
extended models.
|
||||
|
||||
### LawDoc
|
||||
|
||||
The U.S. Code titles have very little prefatory material before the main
|
||||
body of text and no material after the end of the main body of text.
|
||||
Some other legislative and regulatory documents have much more material
|
||||
before and after the main text. To support this, the model for
|
||||
LawDocType has been extended with optional elements as illustrated
|
||||
below.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="images-for-review-guide/image5.png"
|
||||
style="width:4.15057in;height:2.18304in" />
|
||||
|
||||
An optional \<preface\> element (discussed above) may come before
|
||||
\<main\>. The optional elements \<attestation\>, \<signatures\>,
|
||||
\<notes\>, \<backmatter\>, and \<endMarker\> may follow \<main\> before
|
||||
an \<appendix\>. This extension allows modelling of the following
|
||||
documents:
|
||||
|
||||
> lawDoc, bill, resolution, uscDoc, **pLaw, statutesAtLarge, amendment,
|
||||
> frDoc, rule, presidentialDoc, cfrDoc, statuteCompilation**
|
||||
|
||||
### Level
|
||||
|
||||
The “level” model, used in all hierarchical provisions, allows a more
|
||||
flexible arrangement of num, heading, ToC, appropriations and appendix
|
||||
elements within a level. For instance, a \<heading\> can precede \<num\>
|
||||
which was not allowed in USLM 1.0.
|
||||
|
||||
### HeadingStructure
|
||||
|
||||
HeadingStructure now allows a more flexible arrangement of headings,
|
||||
subheadings, and notes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Amendments
|
||||
|
||||
In order to allow the use of the element \<action\> in the context of
|
||||
bill actions, the existing use of \<action\> within amendments has been
|
||||
changed to \<amendingAction\>.
|
||||
|
||||
The existing action “renumber” was renamed “redesignate” to better match
|
||||
the terminology used in Congress. Additional action of “conform” and
|
||||
“unknown” were added.
|
||||
|
||||
### Appendix
|
||||
|
||||
The model for \<appendix\> was modified to better match actual appendix
|
||||
instances (previously unused).
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature
|
||||
|
||||
The model for \<signatures\> was modified to better match actual
|
||||
signature instances (previously unused). Elements were added for
|
||||
**\<notation\>** and **\<autograph\>**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tables
|
||||
|
||||
In USLM 1.0, the table model was not defined, and the use of XHTML
|
||||
tables was encouraged. In USLM 2.0, the table model is still based on
|
||||
XHTML, but it has been significantly customized to meet the needs of the
|
||||
documents being modeled. The basic structure is XHTML 1.0, with the
|
||||
standard \<table\>, \<caption\>, \<thead\>, \<tfoot\>, \<tbody\>,
|
||||
\<colgroup\>, \<col\>, \<tr\>, and \<td\> elements taken from the XHTML
|
||||
namespace. Inline, p, and note elements from USLM are allowed in table
|
||||
cells along with character content. Attributes were added to match USLM
|
||||
processing needs with similar names to those used in Bill DTD:
|
||||
|
||||
**@stubHierarchy**, **@textHierarchy**, **@blockStyle**, **@leaders**,
|
||||
**@leaderAlign, @id, @identifier, @orientation**
|
||||
|
||||
## Document Actions
|
||||
|
||||
Legislative actions on a document were modelled more thoroughly.
|
||||
Elements were added for **\<action\>**, **\<actionDescription\>**,
|
||||
**\<actionInstruction\>, \<committee\>, \<sponsor\>, \<cosponsor\>,**
|
||||
and **\<nonsponsor\>**.
|
||||
|
||||
An example of these elements in use from 115 HCONRES 18 ENR:
|
||||
|
||||
<span class="mark">\<action\>
|
||||
\<actionDescription\>Agreed to\</actionDescription\>
|
||||
\<date date="2017-02-10"\>February 10, 2017\</date\>
|
||||
\</action\></span>
|
||||
|
||||
## Document Titles
|
||||
|
||||
Legislative document titles were modelled more thoroughly. Elements were
|
||||
added for **\<longTitle\>**, **\<docTitle\>**, **\<officialTitle\>**,
|
||||
and **\<shortTitle\>**.
|
||||
|
||||
An example of these elements in use from <span class="mark">115 HR 255
|
||||
ENR:</span>
|
||||
|
||||
<span class="mark">\<longTitle\>An Act\</docTitle\>
|
||||
\<officialTitle\>To authorize the National Science Foundation to support
|
||||
entrepreneurial programs for women.\</officialTitle\>
|
||||
\</longTitle\></span>
|
||||
|
||||
## Content Tagging
|
||||
|
||||
Two elements were added for general content tagging.
|
||||
|
||||
term *A \<term\> is a word or phrase that is being defined. The \<term\>
|
||||
element surrounds the words for the term being defined. It is quite
|
||||
possible for multiple \<term\> elements to be specified within a
|
||||
definition. When a \<term\> is the words, in the alternate language,
|
||||
then the xml:lang attribute must be used. \<term\> elements can also be
|
||||
used for synonyms or near-synonyms which are also specified within the
|
||||
definition. The containing element (such as a section) has a
|
||||
@role="definitions" to indicate that definitions are contained within
|
||||
it.*
|
||||
|
||||
entity *An \<entity\> is a generic inline element to identify a text
|
||||
fragment introducing or referring to an ontological concept. This is
|
||||
modelled after the Akoma Ntoso \<entity\> element. The @role attribute
|
||||
can be used to distinguish the concept, for instance, a NAICS code or
|
||||
SEC code would be \<entity @role="NAICS"\> or \<entity @role="SEC"\>.*
|
||||
|
||||
## Page and Line Numbering
|
||||
|
||||
**\<page\>** and **\<line\>** elements were introduced to note where
|
||||
page and line boundaries occurred in a published document. These are
|
||||
both typed as notes. The content models of some elements were modified
|
||||
specifically to allow these elements to exist at the actual boundary
|
||||
locations. Page and line numbers are used for citations and references
|
||||
in some document types, for example page numbers for citations to
|
||||
statutes at large.
|
||||
|
||||
## Other New Elements
|
||||
|
||||
The following new elements were added to support content found in the
|
||||
new document types and in new stages of existing document types.
|
||||
|
||||
(StatementType) \<**resolvingClause\>**, **\<wordsOfIssuance\>**
|
||||
|
||||
(ContentType) \<**figure\>**, **\<figCaption\>**
|
||||
|
||||
(InlineType) \<**headingText\>**, **\<span\>**, **\<committee\>**
|
||||
|
||||
(all doc types) **\<attestation\>**
|
||||

# Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This Review Guide is intended to help users to understand changes in the 2.1
|
||||
version of the United States Legislative Markup (USLM) schema so that users can
|
||||
provide meaningful feedback about the changes. This guide assumes that the
|
||||
reader is familiar with the 1.0 and 2.0, 2.0.12, and 2.0.17 versions of the USLM schema and is
|
||||
generally knowledgeable about XML schemas in XSD format. For more information
|
||||
about previous versions, see the [Existing Documentation](#existing-documentation)
|
||||
section of this document for links to existing documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
This guide reflects USLM schema version 2.1.0.
|
||||
|
||||
# Conventions Used in the User Guide
|
||||
|
||||
The following conventions are used in the User Guide:
|
||||
|
||||
- XML element names are denoted with angled brackets. For example,
|
||||
`<title>` is an XML element.
|
||||
|
||||
- Groups of elements are denoted with a word followed by the word 'elements'.
|
||||
For example, 'positioned note elements' includes any of the elements
|
||||
`<footnote>`, `<sidenote>`, `<endnote>`, and `<ear>`.
|
||||
|
||||
- XML attribute names are denoted with an “`@`” prefix. For example, `@href`.
|
||||
is an XML attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enumerated values are denoted in a fixed width font. For example, `landscape` is an enumeration.
|
||||
|
||||
- String values are denoted with double quotes. For example, “`title1-s1`”
|
||||
is a string value.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new ***term*** being defined is shown in bold italic.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new **element** or **attribute** being defined is shown in bold.
|
||||
|
||||
# Brief USLM Background
|
||||
|
||||
The USLM schema was first developed in 2013 by the Office of the Law
|
||||
Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives (OLRC) in order to
|
||||
produce the United States Code in XML. Since 2013, the OLRC regularly
|
||||
produces a USLM version of the United States Code for download at
|
||||
<http://uscode.house.gov/download/download.shtml>. The USLM version of
|
||||
the U.S. Code is updated continuously as new laws are enacted.
|
||||
|
||||
The original goals of the USLM schema included:
|
||||
|
||||
1. *Allow existing titles of the United States Code to be converted
|
||||
into XML.*
|
||||
|
||||
2. *Support ongoing maintenance of the United States Code.*
|
||||
|
||||
3. *Support the drafting of new positive law codification bills and
|
||||
related materials.*
|
||||
|
||||
4. *Provide a flexible foundation to meet future needs of Congress.*
|
||||
|
||||
5. *Compatibility with existing legislative documents in other XML
|
||||
formats.*
|
||||
|
||||
Building on the “flexible foundation” in goal number four above, the
|
||||
Government Publishing Office (GPO) released the 2.0 update to
|
||||
USLM that extended its use to the following document sets:
|
||||
|
||||
- Enrolled Bills and Resolutions
|
||||
|
||||
- Public and Private Laws
|
||||
|
||||
- Statutes at Large
|
||||
|
||||
- Statute Compilations
|
||||
|
||||
- Federal Register (FR)
|
||||
|
||||
- Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
|
||||
|
||||
The documentation for the USLM used in these document sets is in the 2.0.12
|
||||
version of the Review Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
Further additions were made to USLM 2.0 to enable its use for bills and
|
||||
resolutions in all document stages. This is documented in the 2.0.12 and 2.0.17
|
||||
versions of the Review Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
The changes made to the USLM schema to support its use for amendment documents
|
||||
are breaking changes, hence the 2.1 numbering.

# What Has Not Changed
|
||||
|
||||
Version 2.1 of USLM is architecturally an incremental change to the schema.
|
||||
While many new elements have been added and several content models have been
|
||||
extended or modified, the fundamental design of the schema has not changed. The
|
||||
following principles, documented in the 1.0 and 2.0 versions of the User Guide,
|
||||
continue in version 2.1:
|
||||
|
||||
- Abstract and Concrete Models
|
||||
|
||||
- Inheritance
|
||||
|
||||
- Attribute Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Core Document Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Metadata Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Hierarchy Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Versioning Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Presentation Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Relationship to HTML
|
||||
|
||||
- Identification Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Referencing Model
|
||||
|
||||
Many of these models have been extended to accommodate the additional
|
||||
document types and their structures. These extensions are
|
||||
backwards-compatible except in a few cases described below.
|
||||
|
||||
# Schema Changes
|
||||
|
||||
## Changed Schema Document Structure
|
||||
|
||||
The XSD schema documents were restructured to facilitate schema processing. A single top-level XSD file imports the component schema files for USLM, tables, MathML, and chamber-specific metadata. References to other components internal to the component schemas are made by namespace only, which avoids potential circular reference issues during schema processing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Added Models
|
||||
|
||||
### Amendment Documents
|
||||
|
||||
Amendment documents have a structure that is unlike other legislative documents,
|
||||
and require different metadata. For this reason the `<amendment>` document uses new elements that are equivalents to the existing `<meta>`, `<preface>`, and `<main>` elements, namely **`<amendMeta>`**, **`<amendPreface>`**, and **`<amendMain>`**. As in other legislative documents, the `<amendMeta>` element contains the machine-processable metadata, `<amendPreface>` the metadata that is rendered with the document, and `<amendMain>` the main content of the `<amendment>` document.
|
||||
|
||||
Within the `<amendMain>` element, the individual amendment instructions are delineated with **`<amendmentInstruction>`** elements, which contain a `<num>` for the amendment number, if present, and `<content>` for the content of the amendment instruction. The lines of content of the amendment instruction are always numbered; the instruction lines may be numbered depending on the value of the new **`@amendmentInstructionLineNumbering`** attribute on the `<amendMain>` element.
|
||||
|
||||
An example of an `<amendmentInstruction>` is
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<amendmentInstruction><num>3</num><content>On page 4, line 11, add at the end of section 2(b) the following new paragraph:
|
||||
<amendmentContent styleType="OLC">
|
||||
<paragraph>
|
||||
<num>(9)</num>
|
||||
<content class="inline">Even public health programs do not consistently provide coverage for such treatments.</content>
|
||||
</paragraph>
|
||||
</amendmentContent>
|
||||
</content>
|
||||
</amendmentInstruction>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The **`<amendmentContent>`** element has the same content model as the `<quotedContent>` element, but is used for amendments to bills that are not yet law, reported bills, and amendment documents, whereas the `<quotedContent>` element is used for amending existing law.
|
||||
|
||||
### Engrossed Amendment Documents
|
||||
|
||||
Engrossed amendment documents have the same allowed content model as other amendment documents, but
|
||||
use the **`<engrossedAmendment>`** element instead of the `<amendment>` element. The structure usually
|
||||
differs from that used in other amendment documents.
|
||||
|
||||
### Chamber-specific Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
The House and the Senate each have specific metadata that they use in bills and resolutions before they are engrossed, which helps the workflow in each chamber. Since this metadata is specific to the chamber, the USLM 2.1 schema defines only the namespace of the metadata that the chamber can add to the `<meta>` and `<amendMeta>` element, and not the schema itself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Added Guidance for Usage
|
||||
|
||||
These are recommended guidelines. They are not enforced (and in many cases are unenforceable) by the schema but are considered best practice in the set of known documents for which USLM was designed and extended.
|
||||
|
||||
### Identifiers with Multiple Languages
|
||||
|
||||
A language-neutral identifier does not include a language code. To create an identifier for a specific language version of the document, include a language identifier using the three-letter system defined in ISO 639-2, as used by the Library of Congress, using the Bibliographic language code (B) where there is a choice. The accepted list is found at https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php
|
||||
For instance, the identifier for section 101 of the English version of Title 51 would be "/us/usc/t51@eng/s101". This should be used in conjunction with the xml:lang attribute with the correct value.
|
||||
|
||||
To make an identifier for a specified version of a provision or level, an "@" symbol is used. For instance, an identifier for section 101 of Title 51 on 1 February, 2013 would be "/us/usc/t51@2013-02-01/s101", which uses the ISO time reference system. The version specification could also be an arbitrary name or relative date, such as 'pre-1824' or 'v1.1.1'. A version string that is not a date must not begin with a number, to avoid confusion with dates. Version strings must be constructed solely with characters taken from the URI unreserved character set per RFC-3986 2.3.
|
||||
|
||||
For compability with AKN, or when including both a language and version specification, the "!" designator may also be used for a language-specific version of a provision instead of the "@" designator, e.g., "/us/stat/53/1561!nor" for the Norwegian version of "/us/stat/53/1561!eng".
|
||||
|
||||
When including both a language and a version specification, place the language specification ahead of the version specification. For instance to combine both examples above, the result would be "/us/usc/t51!eng@2013-02-01/s101" or "/us/usc/t51!eng@v1.1.1/s101".
|
||||
|
||||
### Hierarchical Law Levels
|
||||
|
||||
The standard patterns for hierarchical law levels begin with optional num and heading elements
|
||||
in either order. There are two standard patterns for the content that follows those elements: \
|
||||
- a `<content>` element, that does not contain subordinate law levels, or \
|
||||
- an optional `<chapeau>` element, followed by one or more subordinate law
|
||||
levels, followed by an optional `<continuation>` element.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changed Models
|
||||
|
||||
In parallel with the design work to extend the USLM schema for use with amendment documents,
|
||||
the schema was refactored. The addition of many new elements and attributes since the
|
||||
development of USLM 1.0 had resulted in the possibility of markup that did not follow
|
||||
the intended model guidelines. In version 2.1 of the schema, the content models of
|
||||
several elements were changed
|
||||
to disallow some document structures that were never intended to be allowed, while
|
||||
allowing for existing and expected document structures. As an example, in the 2.0 schema, the
|
||||
`<content>` element allows any USLM or any element in any other namespace, in any
|
||||
order, which can lead to documents that do not conform to expected usage. To counteract
|
||||
this, the 2.1 schema no longer allows the `<content>` element in some elements where
|
||||
it was previously allowed, and selected other elements no longer have the same content model
|
||||
as the `<content>` element. For example, the positioned note elements no longer allow
|
||||
the `<content>` element, and the `<figure>` element no longer has the same content model
|
||||
as the `<content>` element. Also, the use of elements from other namespaces within
|
||||
the `<content>` element has been restricted
|
||||
(see [Content in non-USLM Namespaces](#content-in-non-uslm-namespaces)).
|
||||
|
||||
As a result, documents that conform to expected modeling patterns will continue to validate according to the 2.1 schema with rare exceptions, but documents that use unexpected modeling patterns and structures may not.
|
||||
|
||||
### Content in non-USLM Namespaces
|
||||
|
||||
USLM 2.0 uses definitions for the content of many elements which allowed elements in any namespace. The 2.0 model has the advantage of allowing discovery of content in other XML namespaces which various stakeholders might wish to include in a USLM document. Unfortunately, it has the corresponding disadvantage of presenting an impossible challenge to anyone required to process USLM content.
|
||||
|
||||
USLM 2.1 changes the definitions for these elements so that elements in namespaces other than USLM are not allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
There are some exceptions.
|
||||
|
||||
The `<mathml:math>`, `<xhtml:img>`, and `<xhtml:table>` elements are permitted in selected elements, such as the content group of elements. Chamber-specific metadata in the chamber-specific namespace is permitted in the `<meta>` element.
|
||||
|
||||
The `<foreign>` element, which is allowed in some elements, may contain content in a namespace other than the USLM namespace `http://schemas.gpo.gov/xml/uslm`. Aside from the specific exceptions, this is now the only way to include content in another namespace in a USLM document.
|
||||
|
||||
### Content Elements
|
||||
|
||||
The group of elements with the same expansive content model as the `<content>` element
|
||||
is smaller in USLM 2.1 than in USLM 2.0. The `<figure>`, `<editorialContent>`,
|
||||
`<column>`, and `<p>` elements and their substitution groups now have more appropriate
|
||||
content models. The content group of elements in USLM 2.1 comprises the `<content>`, `<text>`, `<chapeau>`, `<continuation>`, and `<component>` elements, elements in the `quotedContent` group, and note elements.
|
||||
|
||||
Any USLM element is allowed in content elements, but elements in other namespaces must be contained by a `<foreign>` element. Exceptions are made for the elements `<mathml:math>`, `<xhtml:img>`, and `<xhtml:table>`, which may be direct children of content elements. See [Content in non-USLM Namespaces](#content-in-non-uslm-namespaces) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout Element
|
||||
|
||||
The USLM 2.0 model for a `<layout>` element allows `<header>`, `<row>`, `<block>`, `<content>`, and `<NoteStructure>` elements.
|
||||
|
||||
The 2.1 model adds `<column>`, `<page>`, and `<coverText>` and **removes** the `<content>` element. USLM 2.0 documents which use content elements in layout structures will need to be adjusted to use 2.1 compatible markup.
|
||||
|
||||
The `<column>` element is no longer based on the `<content>` element and contains a specific list of allowed elements that permits known and expected usage.
|
||||
|
||||
### Meta Element
|
||||
|
||||
The `<dcterms>` namespace has been removed from the USLM 2.1.0 schema. In consequence, the `<dcterms:created>` element where it exists must be replaced with the new **`<createdDate>`** element.
|
||||
|
||||
### Preface Element
|
||||
The `<preface>` element no longer allows the `<content>` element as a child. The list of allowed elements was expanded to permit known and expected usage.
|
||||
|
||||
### Editorial Content Element
|
||||
|
||||
The `<editorialContent>` element in current usage contains only text and `<toc>` elements, and the element model has been restricted to those choices.
|
||||
|
||||
### Figure Element
|
||||
|
||||
The `<figure>` element is no longer based on the `<content>` element. It allows the USLM and XHTML `<img>` elements, as well as the MathML `<math>` element, the `<figCaption>`, and `<page>` elements.
|
||||
|
||||
### Note Elements
|
||||
|
||||
A new note, the **`<drafterNote>`**, was added to the existing group of note elements. This is used by drafters to make notes while drafting bills. As with other note elements, it is based on the `<content>` element and thus can contain any USLM element.
|
||||
|
||||
### P Element
|
||||
|
||||
The `<p>` element is no longer based on the `<content>` element. It has a long list of specified elements that are allowed, as well as text content.
|
||||
|
||||
### Page and Line Elements
|
||||
|
||||
The `<page>` and `<line>` elements are no longer in the group of positioned note elements, as they have a more restricted content model. They allow inline elements and text content.
|
||||
|
||||
### Positioned Note Elements
|
||||
|
||||
These include `<footnote>`, `<sidenote>`, `<ear>`, and `<endnote>`. These notes are anchored at a specific location in the text, but their contents may float to another position when rendered. The `PositionedNoteType` is no longer a type of `Note`, but is a distinct type that does not allow the `<content>` element. As a consequence, `<footnote>` and other types of positioned note elements no longer allow the `<content>` element as a child element. Specific additions to the content model include `<xhtml:table>`, `<list>`, and `<img>`, as well as note elements other than positioned note elements. It is not permitted to nest positioned note elements. (You cannot, for example, put a footnote in an ear or an ear in an endnote.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Running Head Elements
|
||||
|
||||
The three elements `<leftRunningHead>`, `<centerRunningHead>`, and `<rightRunningHead>` are now in their own group, and can contain only text content, with additional attributes to specify rendering. The new **`<slugLine>`** element is also in this group, although the contents are rendered on the slug (footer) line rather than in the header of a printed page.
|
||||
|
||||
### Recital Element
|
||||
|
||||
The `<recital>` element in older Statutes at Large volumes is more complex than other types of statement elements, so the content model for `<recital>` elements was expanded to allow `<figure>`, `<xhtml:table>`, `<p>`, `<quotedText>`, and `<quotedContent>`, while excluding the `<content>` element.
|
||||
|
||||
### Statement Elements
|
||||
|
||||
The statement elements are `<docTitle>`, `<enactingFormula>`, `<longTitle>`, `<officialTitle>`, `<resolvingClause>`, `<statement>`, and `<wordsOfIssuance>`. The content model for statement elements has been simplified, allowing text content, `<marker>`, `<p>`, `<page>`, note elements, positioned notes, and inline elements.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scaling Brace Markup
|
||||
|
||||
The 2.0 model allows elements in arbitrary namespaces in many places. The 2.1 model does not so allow, and so the following use of MathML markup to represent a scaling brace used in 2.0 content:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<column><mo xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" stretchy="true">}</mo></column>
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
must become:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<column><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mo stretchy="true">}</mo></math></column>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
since the USLM 2.1 model makes a specific namespace-other-than-USLM exception permitting the inclusion of the `<mathml:math>` element. Other elements in the MathML namespace must descend from the `<mathml:math>` element.
|
||||
|
||||
### Schema Scope
|
||||
|
||||
As use of the USLM schemas increases, different stakeholder groups with different objectives and requirements will use USLM to represent and process content. This introduces situations where different content rules are desirable. For example, markup that is acceptable or even necessary and desirable in a pre-introduced bill might not be acceptable in a passed bill. Representing this variation in the schema would introduce substantial overhead from complexity.
|
||||
|
||||
The stakeholders have agreed that the more appropriate approach going forward is to maintain the 2.* USLM schemas with only those restrictions which are applicable to all USLM users. Restrictions specific to a particular document set or to a processing mechanism will need to be implemented by mechanisms other than the official USLM XSD schemas.

# United States Legislative Markup
|
||||
## User Guide for the USLM Schema
|
||||
|
||||
# 1 USLM
|
||||
## 1.1 Overview
|
||||
United States Legislative Markup (USLM) is an XML information model designed to represent the legislation of United States Congress. Initially, USLM is being used to produce titles of the United States Code in XML, but it is designed to be adaptable for appendices to titles of the United States Code as well as bills, resolutions, statutes, and certain other legislative materials. USLM is intended to meet the following needs:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Allow existing titles of the United States Code to be converted into XML.
|
||||
2. Support ongoing maintenance of the United States Code.
|
||||
3. Support the drafting of new positive law codification bills and related materials.
|
||||
4. Provide a flexible foundation to meet future needs of the United States Congress.
|
||||
5. Be compatible with other legislative documents that already exist in other XML formats.
|
||||
|
||||
This User Guide describes, at a high level, how USLM is designed and how it can be used. USLM is designed using the XML Schema Definition language (XSD). This User Guide is intended for individuals familiar with XSDs and with document information modeling. For more information on XSDs, see the W3C website at [http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-0-20041028/](http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-0-20041028/) and other reference materials on these subjects.
|
||||
|
||||
>**Note:** _Version 1.0 of XML Schema is used for USLM. A more recent version, V1.1, is available as a recommendation, but currently there is very limited tool support for the more recent version._
|
||||
|
||||
## 1.2 Principles
|
||||
Following a 1999 feasibility study on XML/SGML[1] the Committee on House Administration adopted XML as a data standard for the exchange of legislative documents. As a result, the U.S. House of Representatives first publicly released Congressional bill data in XML in 2004. Since that time, a number of best practices and consistent approaches have evolved around the use of XML across various industries. To the greatest extent possible, the design of USLM leverages current best practices in legislative information modeling.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2.1 Model the Data as It Appears
|
||||
To the greatest extent possible, text that is published is maintained in the main body of the document in the order it appears when presented in publication.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2.2 Leverage Existing Standards
|
||||
To the greatest extent possible, established XML standards are incorporated into USLM. For example, XHTML[2] is used for tables and the Dublin Core[3] is used for metadata.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2.3 Element Text vs. Attributes
|
||||
XML attributes are reserved for metadata and/or normalized representations of the element text. No attribute text should ever appear, as is, in any manifestation of a USLM document.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2.4 Generated Content
|
||||
In general, generated text is avoided in USLM. Over the past decade, as Congress has gained experience with bill drafting in XML, drafters have found that the use of generated text can be problematic, particularly when working with existing law. This general rule does not prevent specific renderings that use the USLM data to generate supplemental display information, such as the header or footer of the printed versions.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1.3 Scope
|
||||
USLM is designed to support a specific set of documents that are legislative in nature. While it is not a general model for documents outside this specific set, USLM may be applicable for Federal regulatory publications
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.3.1 Types of Documents Covered
|
||||
USLM is designed to represent the legislation of United States Congress. Initially, USLM is being used to produce titles of the United States Code in XML, but it is designed to be adaptable for appendices to titles of the United States Code as well as bills, resolutions, statutes, and certain other legislative materials.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1.4 Goals
|
||||
The USLM schema is defined with the following goals in mind:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Ease of Learning** – XML schemas can be difficult to learn and master. It may be quite difficult to envision how all the pieces fit together and how various cases are to be accommodated. In addition, the heavy use of jargon may complicate the picture. To counter this, USLM is designed to be learned incrementally and to favor legislative and end-user terminology over computer jargon. USLM is laid out to allow someone learning it to learn each stage separately and only progress to the next stage when the prior stage has been mastered.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Extensibility** – It is not possible to anticipate all the document structures that may arise in legislation. The sheer volume of data makes an exhaustive analysis of documents difficult, and it is impossible to predict all future needs for alternative legislative structures or drafting styles. A legislative schema must be able to evolve to allow changes to be incorporated, with a minimum of impact, in either a temporary or permanent way. USLM is designed, using XML Schema's inheritance mechanisms, to allow for easy extensibility.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Editability** – One of the greatest challenges when designing an XML-based information model is to define a model which can be used for editing. USLM is designed to support both completely-formed documents and the editing of documents under construction.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1.5 Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
Conventions are important for establishing consistency.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.5.1 Conventions Used in the User Guide
|
||||
The following conventions are used in the User Guide:
|
||||
|
||||
1. XML element names are denoted with angled brackets and in courier. For example, `<title>` is an XML element.
|
||||
2. XML attribute names are denoted with an "@" prefix and in courier. For example, `@href` is an XML attribute.
|
||||
3. Enumerated values are denoted in courier. For example, landscape is an enumeration.
|
||||
4. String values are denoted with double quotes and in courier. For example, "title1-s1" is a string value.
|
||||
5. A new **_term_** being defined is shown in bold italic.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.5.2 Conventions Used in the XML
|
||||
|
||||
The conventions below are used in the XML schema and XML document instances. It is important that these conventions be adhered to when the information model is initially defined, when it is modified, and when instances of documents that conform to it are created.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.5.2.1 Namespaces
|
||||
USLM supports the use of namespaces. XML provides a namespace mechanism to allow XML element names to be defined without naming collisions.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.5.2.2 Namespace URI
|
||||
XML namespaces are associated with a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) which is known to be unique. This URI acts as an identifier defining, unambiguously, to which model the element belongs. It is possible to define a namespace URI as either a URN URI (a naming convention) or a URL URI (a locating convention). In USLM, URL URIs are used as a convention, which is the most common current practice.
|
||||
|
||||
For USLM, the namespace URI is defined as the following URL:
|
||||
|
||||
http://xml.house.gov/schemas/uslm/1.0
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.5.2.3 Namespace Prefix
|
||||
Ordinarily, a namespace prefix is not necessary and should not be used. However, in cases where a namespace prefix is deemed necessary, the preferred prefix is "USLM".
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.5.2.4 Schema Versioning
|
||||
A schema versioning model is defined for use in USLM documents. If USLM is modified, a new version number in the format "n.n.n" is assigned to the schema. The lower order digit is used to represent evolutionary additions to the schema, the next digit will change only if there is a an incompatible modification to the schema, often called a "breaking change" and the highest order digit will change if there is a major rewrite of the standard. Breaking changes will only be implemented after all other options have been exhausted. The schema version for a USLM document is identified using the version attribute on the root element.
|
||||
|
||||
>**Note:** _Schema changes will not be undertaken lightly. Changes can be costly and can severely impact systems that rely on the information model._
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.5.3 Naming
|
||||
In USLM, naming conventions are used to promote consistency, cleaner design, and ease of use. In general, names are chosen to be short and to the point, while still conveying the primary purpose. Abbreviations are used only when the abbreviation is commonly accepted and not likely to cause confusion.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, one-word names are preferred. If necessary, two- or three-word names are used. Two-word names are in the form adjective + noun. For three-word names, the last word defines a general class or type.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.5.3.1 Type & Groups
|
||||
Type and group names are defined in UpperCamelCase. For example, IdentificationGroup is an attribute group and is expressed in a form where all the words start with an upper case character.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.5.3.2 Elements
|
||||
Element names are defined in lowerCamelCase. For example, `<longTitle>` is an element name and is expressed in a form where all the words, except the first one, start with an upper case character.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.5.3.3 Attributes
|
||||
Attribute names are defined in lowerCamelCase. For example, `@alignTo` is an attribute name and is expressed in a form where all the words, except the first one, start with an upper case character.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.5.3.4 Names and Identifiers
|
||||
All `@temporalId` names are written in lower case, with underscore ("\_") separators between significant portions of the name. All `@ids` are defined to be globally unique as GUIDS and, for compatibility reasons, start with the "id" prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1.6 Relationship to XHTML
|
||||
USLM leverages the XML version of HTML 4.0, commonly called XHTML. Many USLM attribute and element names purposely coincide with their XHTML equivalents.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.6.1 Identity and locating attributes: id, idref, href, and src.
|
||||
The `@id`, `@idref`, `@href`, and `@src` reference are identical to their XHTML equivalents.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.6.2 Role attribute
|
||||
The `@role` attribute is similar to the proposed `@role` attribute in XHTML and HTML5. It is used to provide additional semantic information about the purpose of an element. It is particularly useful with abstract elements that lack clear semantics.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.6.3 Style attributes: class and style
|
||||
The `@class` attribute is similar to its XHTML equivalent. It should be used to associate presentation classes, defined in a CSS file, with an element.
|
||||
|
||||
The `@style` attribute is used to specify instance-specific styling, as an override to the class specific styling. Its use in USLM is identical to that in XHTML.
|
||||
|
||||
The `@class` and `@style` attributes are explained in greater detail in section 9.2.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.6.4 Generic elements
|
||||
A number of elements in USLM are defined to be identical in name and function to elements in XHTML. This set is limited to elements that are likely to be needed within the main legislative language in situations where utilizing the XHTML namespace would be cumbersome or would prevent further use of the legislative structures available in USLM. In other cases where a USLM equivalent element is not defined, it is acceptable and recommended to use the XHTML element with the appropriate namespace information.
|
||||
|
||||
The elements borrowed from XHTML are: `<p>`, `<br>`, `<img>`, `<center>`, `<b>`, `<i>`, `<sub>`, `<sup>`, `<del>`, and `<ins>`. In addition to this set, there are other elements which share the same name as XHTML elements, but in those cases, the semantics behind the elements are either not completely similar or are totally different. Do not assume XHTML semantics merely because the element name coincides with an XHTML element name.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1.7 Relationship to Akoma Ntoso
|
||||
USLM is not defined to be either a derivative or subset of Akoma Ntoso (http://www.akomantoso.org/). It would be premature to define USLM in that way while the effort is still underway in the OASIS (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/legaldocml) standards group to establish Akoma Ntoso as the XML standard for legislative documents. However, USLM is designed to be consistent with Akoma Ntoso to the extent practicable. Many of the element and attribute names in USLM match the Akoma Ntoso equivalents. As Akoma Ntoso becomes a standard, and as demand for it emerges, it should be possible to produce an Akoma Ntoso XML rendition of a USLM document through a simple transformation.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1.8 External Dependencies
|
||||
USLM has no dependencies on any other information model aside from the core XML model. However, the United States Code titles in USLM currently depend on the Dublin Core and XHTML namespaces. USLM supports the optional use of other information models to create composite documents made up of multiple namespaces. In particular, the use of the following information models is encouraged:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Dublin Core for metadata.
|
||||
2. XHTML for tables and other loosely structure content.
|
||||
3. MathML for equations.
|
||||
4. SVG for vector graphics.
|
||||
|
||||
# 2 Abstract Model vs. Concrete Model
|
||||
|
||||
There are two basic document models in USLM - the abstract model and the concrete model:
|
||||
|
||||
- The abstract model is a general, highly flexible model defined using a minimum set of tags.
|
||||
|
||||
- The concrete model is derived from the abstract model, but it is narrower. The concrete model is defined to precisely model the United States Code. It exists as a simple derivation from the abstract model. While the abstract model uses general terminology, the concrete model uses specific terminology. The specific terminology used in the concrete model is based on well-established terminology used in the Office of the Law Revision Counsel, which produces the United States Code.
|
||||
|
||||
If a tag is defined in the abstract model, and it is sufficient for direct use, the tag is not redefined in the concrete model. The abstract tag is used in documents without change. For example, the `<num>` tag is defined in the abstract model and used without change in all documents. The inheritance technique discussed in section 4 is used to establish these two models.
|
||||
|
||||
# 3 Inheritance
|
||||
|
||||
**_Inheritance_** is a technique, available in many computer languages, to define a basic object with basic behavior and then produce specializations by adding or modifying the behaviors. Inheritance is also available in XML. There are two ways to implement inheritance in USLM:
|
||||
|
||||
1. In most situations, inheritance can be implemented in USLM using an approach inspired by the XML Schema approach. A base class is defined, and variants are derived from the base class to create new elements and modify the attribute and content models. The formality of this approach is an advantage. Adding classes requires a schema change, which constrains the creation of new classes without due consideration.
|
||||
|
||||
2. For anomalous situations occurring so infrequently that modification of the schema is unwarranted, inheritance can be implemented in USLM with an approach inspired by XHTML, using the `@role` attribute to create subclasses. The element name represents the base class, and the `@role` attribute value represents the subclass. This approach makes it easy to create subclasses without changing the schema. Although this method provides welcome flexibility for special cases, it should be used sparingly to avoid the creation of many poorly defined and poorly supported subclasses.
|
||||
|
||||
>**Note:** _There is a rough equivalence between the two approaches. For instance, `<level role="chapter">`_ _is roughly analogous to `<chapter>. However, there is no formal mechanism within XML to establish this equivalence._
|
||||
|
||||
## 3.1 Polymorphism
|
||||
In a programming language, **_polymorphism_** is the ability to use an instance of a subclass wherever an instance of the base class is expected. XML schemas support polymorphism. However, in XML schemas, unlike programming languages, polymorphism is not an implicit capability that comes along with inheritance. In XML schemas, polymorphism is achieved by defining a base level element and then defining subclassed elements to be part of the base element's **substitution group**.
|
||||
|
||||
>**Note:** _In XML Schema V1.0, substitution groups have limitations that were put in place to prevent ambiguous situations from arising which might be difficult for a tool or program to understand. These limitations have been addressed in XML Schema V1.1. Unfortunately, XML Schema V1.1 has not yet been adopted widely enough to serve as the basis for USLM._
|
||||
|
||||
## 3.2 Anomalous Structures
|
||||
Two issues drive the wide variety of legislative structures found in the United States Code.
|
||||
|
||||
First, the United States Code contains Federal law enacted over a period of centuries, and legislative drafting styles evolve over time. To handle this issue, the data is converted using the XML schema subclassing mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
Second, some Federal statutes contain features that do not conform to any commonly accepted drafting style, past or present. To handle this issue, the data remains in the anomalous form, subclassed when possible using the `@role` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
# 4 Abstract Model
|
||||
## 4.1 Concept
|
||||
The foundation of USLM is an abstract model that is designed to be a complete, but generic, legislative model using a minimum number of XML elements. It is possible to markup any U.S. bill or resolution or any title of the United States Code using the abstract model alone, albeit in a very general way.
|
||||
|
||||
The abstract model contains three basic sets of elements: the primitive set, the core set, and the generic set.
|
||||
|
||||
- The **primitive set** defines the fundamental building blocks used to construct everything else.
|
||||
- The **core set** defines the basic document model.
|
||||
- The **generic set** defines a basic set of general-purpose tags used to markup general structures.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4.2 Primitive Set
|
||||
The primitive set is a set of four primitive elements that are the fundamental building blocks of the abstract model. All USLM elements can be traced back through the derivation hierarchy to one of the four primitive elements. The four primitive elements are the following:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Element | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `<marker>` | A marker is an empty XML element. It is used to denote a location or position within an XML document. |
|
||||
| 2 | `<inline>` | An inline is an XML element that can be placed within text content – similar to an XHTML `<span>` element. An inline element can contain other inline elements, markers, or text. |
|
||||
| 3 | `<block>` | A block is an XML element that is presented as a block-like structure and does not contain direct child text content. |
|
||||
| 4 | `<content>` | A content is an XML element that is presented as a block-like structure and that can contain a mixture of text and XML elements. |
|
||||
|
||||
## 4.3 Core Set
|
||||
The core set is a set of twenty-nine elements. Taken together, these twenty-nine core elements define the basic document model, which consists of six parts:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The root level document.
|
||||
2. The metadata block.
|
||||
3. The main document body (including a table of contents, statements, a preamble or enacting clause, and hierarchical levels).
|
||||
4. A structure for references.
|
||||
5. A structure for amendments.
|
||||
6. A structure for any appendices.
|
||||
|
||||
The twenty-nine core elements that define the six-part basic document model are the following:
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Element | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `<lawDoc>` | The document root for a legislative document. |
|
||||
| 2 | `<document>` | The document root for a loosely-structured non-legislative document. |
|
||||
| 3 | `<meta>` | An optional container at the start of the document for metadata. |
|
||||
| 4 | `<property>` | A piece of metadata, usually in the `<meta>` block. |
|
||||
| 5 | `<set>` | A set of metadata, usually containing properties. |
|
||||
| 6 | `<toc>` | A table of contents. |
|
||||
| 7 | `<tocItem>` | An item within a table of contents. |
|
||||
| 8 | `<main>` | The primary container for the body of the document. |
|
||||
| 9 | `<statement>` | Any statement at the start of the document. |
|
||||
| 10 | `<preamble>` | A collection of recitals, ending with an enacting formula at the start of the document. |
|
||||
| 11 | `<recital>` | A clause within the preamble. |
|
||||
| 12 | `<enactingFormula>` | The enactment words at the end of the preamble or found in place of a preamble if the preamble is omitted. |
|
||||
| 13 | `<level>` | A hierarchical item within the document. |
|
||||
| 14 | `<num>` | The number, letter, or alphanumeric combination assigned to a hierarchical level. |
|
||||
| 15 | `<text>` | A block of text, to be used whenever text is required in a block level structure but a parent element is required to conform to the schema. This is a base class for the `<chapeau>` and the `<continuation>` elements. |
|
||||
| 16 | `<heading>` | An optional name or designation of a level element. |
|
||||
| 17 | `<subheading>` | An optional name or designation, to be used below a `<heading>`. |
|
||||
| 18 | `<crossheading>` | Placed within and amongst heading levels to separate items within a level. |
|
||||
| 19 | `<instruction>` | A container used to describe an amendment to legislation. Contains `<action>` elements, as well as the relevant `<quotedText>` or `<quotedContent>`. |
|
||||
| 20 | `<action>` | Describes the change to be made in an `<instruction>` element. |
|
||||
| 21 | `<notes>` | A container for `<note>`s. |
|
||||
| 22 | `<note>` | An individual note. |
|
||||
| 23 | `<appendix>` | A stand-alone appendix document, such as a United States Code title appendix, or an appendix at the end of the document. This can be either an embedded document or a referenced document. |
|
||||
| 24 | `<signatures>` | A container for `<signature>`s. |
|
||||
| 25 | `<signature>` | An individual signature, containing a name and, optionally, a role, affiliation, and/or date. |
|
||||
| 26 | `<ref>` | A reference or link to another whole document, a specific location in another document, or another location within the same document. |
|
||||
| 27 | `<date>` | A date. |
|
||||
| 28 | `<quotedText>` | Plain text quoted from another document or intended to be placed, as stated, in another document. |
|
||||
| 29 | `<quotedContent>` | Quoted content that may be plain text, XML elements, or text plus elements. The content may be quoted from another document or may be intended to be placed, as stated, in another document. |
|
||||
|
||||
## 4.4 Generic Set
|
||||
The generic set defines a set of general-purpose tags used to markup basic structures. Many of the USLM generic elements are borrowed from XHTML, but exist within the USLM namespace because it is often impractical or impossible to use XHTML structures directly, such as when special legislative structures are embedded within general structures (or general structures are embedded within special legislative structures). In such instances, the USLM generic set is used. The USLM generic set includes the following:
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Element | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `<layout>` | A region to be presented in a column-oriented layout – similar to a table. |
|
||||
| 2 | `<header>` | A heading row in a `<layout>` structure. |
|
||||
| 3 | `<row>` | A normal row in a `<layout>` structure. In general, this level can be omitted.
|
||||
|
|
||||
| 4 | `<column>` | A column cell in a `<layout>` structure. |
|
||||
| 5 | `<p>` | A normal (unnumbered) paragraph. The semantics for a paragraph should be preserved. Do not use the `<p>` element as a general block like element.
|
||||
|
|
||||
| 6 | `<br>` | A line break. This element should only be used to force a line break when other more semantic elements are not sufficient to achieve the desired formatting.
|
||||
|
|
||||
| 7 | `<img>` | An embedded image. This is a marker element which points, via a URL, to the image to be embedded.
|
||||
|
|
||||
| 8 | `<center>` | Centered text. While this tag is deprecated in HTML 4.01, it is provided here for convenience as centering text is common.|
|
||||
| 9 | `<fillIn>` | A region of text intended to be filled in on a form. |
|
||||
| 10 | `<checkBox>` | A check box intended to be checked on a form. |
|
||||
| 11 | `<b>` | Bold text. |
|
||||
| 12 | `<i>` | Italic text. |
|
||||
| 13 | `<sub>` | Subscripted text. |
|
||||
| 14 | `<sup>` | Superscripted text. |
|
||||
| 15 | `<del>` | Deleted text within a modification. |
|
||||
| 16 | `<ins>` | Inserted text within a modification. |
|
||||
|
||||
## 4.5 Attribute Groups
|
||||
|
||||
The general-purpose attributes that are used in the abstract model (or in the concrete model derived from the abstract model) can be grouped into several categories.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.1 Identification
|
||||
The following attributes are used to identify elements in various ways. The identification group is a universal group and can be used on all elements.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@id` | An immutable (unchangeable) id assigned to an element upon creation. It should be preserved as is when an element is moved. However, when an element is copied, new values for all `@id` attributes in the copied fragment should be generated. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@name` | A name assigned to an element that can be parameterized to support computation of a name or id a point in time. For example: "s{num}". |
|
||||
| 3 | `@temporalId` | An evolving name assigned to an element that reflects it current type and any numbering. |
|
||||
| 4 | `@identifier` | Used on the root elements to specify the URL-based path reference to that element. The `@identifier` is specified as an absolute path (i.e. a path beginning with a single slash) in accordance to the rules of the Reference Model described in section 13. `@identifier` is an evolving identity and may only be valid for a specific time. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.2 Classification
|
||||
The following attributes are used to classify elements. These are primarily used for informal subclassing and styling purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@role` | Assigns a single semantic subclass to an element. This attribute is primarily for use with abstract elements, but may be used across all elements to provide a richer semantic association. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@class` | Assigns one or more presentation classes to an element. These classes relate to CSS classes. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@style` | Embeds CSS styles, particular to a specific instance, with the element. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.3 Annotation
|
||||
The following attributes are used to annotate or mark elements, usually for editorial reasons. Attribute values are not shown in a published form. The annotation group is universal and can be used on all elements.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@note` | A simple text note not to be published. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@alt` | An alternate description of an element. The `@alt` attribute is intended to map to the HTML `@alt` attribute for use with WCAG 2.0 and other accessibility initiatives. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@meta` | An association with an element. How this attribute is used is not prescribed. |
|
||||
| 4 | `@misc` | [Reserved for future use.] |
|
||||
| 5 | `@draftingTip` | For internal use by the Offices of the Legislative Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate (or other entities in the legislative branch). |
|
||||
| 6 | `@codificationTip` | For internal use by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives (or other entities in the legislative branch). |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.4 Description
|
||||
The following attributes are used to describe or categorize elements.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@title` | A short textual description of an item. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@brief` | A longer textual description of an item. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@sortOrder` | A numeric integer used to signify the order in which an item should appear with its siblings. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.5 Reference
|
||||
|
||||
The following attributes are used to establish pointers or references to other documents or locations within the same document.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@href` | A URL reference to another document or part of another document. The @href URL in USLM is generally a path beginning with a single slash. A "resolver", described in section 13, maps between the path found in the URL and the full URL required to retrieve the target item. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@idref` | A reference to an item within the same document, identified by specifying the value of the `@id` attribute for the target element. If the `@idref` points to a `<ref>` element, then the referencing attributes of the target element are inherited, in a recursive fashion. This concept is described in more detail later in section 13. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@portion` | Specifies an additional part of a reference to be tacked onto the existing context of a reference (usually established through the `@idref`). If the `@portion` does not begin with a separator character ("/", "!", "@"), then a "/" is assumed. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.6 Action
|
||||
The following attributes are used in amendments to declare how amendments are to be made.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@type` | Describes, through an enumerated value, the action being taken. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@occurrence` | Describes which occurrence of an item on which the action is to be taken. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@commencementDate` | Specifies the date on which the action is to be taken. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.7 Amending
|
||||
Attributes used to point to items being amended. The amending group is used with the Reference Group and should be used only within amending instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@pos` | Specifies a relative position in which an action is to occur, such as before or after the item being referenced. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@posText` | Used in conjunction with the `@pos` attribute to specify a location. It specifies text within the referenced item that the `@pos` is relative to. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@posCount` | Used in conjunction with the @posText attribute when an occurrence other than the first occurrence of a string of text is to be acted upon. In addition to specifying a particular instance, enumerated values are available to specify other sets, such as all. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.8 Link
|
||||
The following attribute is used to link other documents or images intended to be embedded within the primary document.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@src` | A URL reference to a document, image, or other item to be embedded in a document. If `@src` contains an absolute path, it should be handled by a resolver, similar to an `@href` attribute. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.9 Value
|
||||
The following attributes are used to hold normalized values computed from the text content.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@value` | A normalized value representing the content of the element. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@startValue` | A normalized value representing the start of a range expressed in the content of the element. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@endValue` | A normalized value representing the end of a range expressed in the content of the element. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.10 Date
|
||||
The following attributes are used to hold normalized forms of date and time values computed from the text content. All date and date times are expressed as YYYY-MM-DD[Thh:mm:ss[Z|(+|-)hh:mm]].
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@date` | A normalized date (or date and time) representing the content of the element. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@beginDate` | A normalized date (or date and time) representing the start of a time/date range expressed as content of the element |
|
||||
| 3 | `@endDate` | A normalized date (or date and time) representing the end of a time/date range expressed as content of the element |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.11 Versioning
|
||||
The following attributes are used to manage the temporal, or time-based, aspects of legislation and the law. All time/dates used in the versioning group use the same time/date format as the Date group.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@startPeriod` | The earliest date (or date and time) a version applies to. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@endPeriod` | The latest date (or date and time) a version applies to. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@status` | The state of a provision during the period. |
|
||||
| 4 | `@partial | A Boolean specifying that the status is only partially in effect. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.12 Cell
|
||||
The following attributes are used for managing column structures. The `@colspan` and `@rowspan` attributes are borrowed from HTML and follow HTML's all lowercase convention.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@colspan` | Specifies how many columns the current column cell should span. By default, a column cell only spans a single column. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@rowspan` | Specifies how many rows the current column cell should span. By default, a column cell only spans a single row. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@leaders` | Specifies a character to be used as a leader. Typically a dot leader (".") is used to create a series of dots. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.13 Note
|
||||
The following attributes are used for positioning and categorizing individual notes and groups of notes.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@type` | When used within a note or a notes container, `@type` specifies the position of the note. Setting the `@type` attribute to "footnote" indicates that the note or notes contained should be shown in the footnotes at the end of the page and setting to "endnote" indicates that the note or notes contained should be shown at the end of the document. If not specified, "footnote" is assumed. For users of `@type` other than within notes, see below. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@topic` | Specifies the focus of the notes. The `@topic` attribute is set to a string value in order to categorize the note or group of notes. An open, but enumerated, list of string values should be used. Using a fixed list of values will better aid in categorization of notes later. |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.5.14 Other Attributes
|
||||
The following are other miscellaneous attributes.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | Attribute | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@xml:lang` | The language of the text contained. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@xml:base` | A URL that can be used to resolve all URLs found in the document. USLM URLs are generally specified as absolute paths. This is to make USLM documents portable, allowing them to be rehosted in a different location without modification. The `@xml:base` provides a preferred location of a resolver capable of resolving the contained references. However, this location is only an advisory. It is be possible for a local system to determine its own preferred resolver location. |
|
||||
| 3 | `@orientation` | Used to specify when a landscape orientation is to be used when the item is published. If not set, the default orientation is portrait. |
|
||||
| 4 | `@type` | Specifies an enumerated categorization beyond the classing and subclassing provided by USLM. Different elements that use the `@type` attribute provide different enumerated values to use. The `@type` attribute is generally used when the classification defines procedural or programmatic behaviors that must be implemented in the system. |
|
||||

||||
# 5 Core Document Model
|
||||
## 5.1 Concept
|
||||
The core document model uses the core elements of the abstract model discussed above to define a simple model for constructing legislation or law with abstract elements. This model is summarized below. A number of details are omitted for the sake of brevity.
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
|
||||
|
||||
<lawDoc
|
||||
xmlns=http://xml.house.gov/schemas/uslm/1.0
|
||||
xsi:schemaLocation"http://xml.house.gov/schemas/uslm/1.0
|
||||
./USLM-1.0.xsd"
|
||||
xml:base="http://resolver.mydomain.com"
|
||||
identifier="/us/usc/t5">
|
||||
<meta>
|
||||
<property name="docTitle">…</property>
|
||||
…
|
||||
</meta>
|
||||
|
||||
<main>
|
||||
<layout>
|
||||
<header>Table of Contents</header>
|
||||
<toc>
|
||||
<tocItem title="Chapter 1">
|
||||
<column>1.</column>
|
||||
<column leaders=".">General Provisions</column>
|
||||
<column>101</column>
|
||||
</tocItem>
|
||||
</toc>
|
||||
</layout>
|
||||
|
||||
<level role="Chapter">
|
||||
<num value="1">CHAPTER 1.</num>
|
||||
<heading>General Provisions</heading>
|
||||
<content>
|
||||
...
|
||||
</content>
|
||||
</level>
|
||||
</main>
|
||||
</lawDoc>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 5.2 Metadata
|
||||
The metadata block, `<meta>`, is an optional block of named properties or sets of named properties at the start of the document. Properties are defined as simple strings. The metadata model is open and unconstrained to provide maximum flexibility.
|
||||
|
||||
Information found in the metadata block is generally not printed in the published form.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the metadata may be generated through analysis of the main text of the document. Whenever the document is modified, this metadata is regenerated to accurately reflect the current state.
|
||||
|
||||
Metadata can be defined using (1) the abstract `<property>` and `<set>` elements, (2) the built-in `<docNumber>`, and other properties, or (3) elements defined in the Dublin Core.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5.3 Main
|
||||
The main text of the document is contained in the `<main>` block. The main block will not have an `@id` or a `@name` attribute. References to items in the main body may skip or suppress the main level in the reference.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5.4 Appendices
|
||||
An appendix can either follow the main part of a document or be a stand-alone document. To include an appendix as a stand-alone document, omit the `<main>` element and include the `<appendix>` element directly after the metadata. This technique is used for United States Code title appendices (e.g., Title 5 Appendix).
|
||||
|
||||
There can also be any number of appendices following the main part of the document. These may also be known as schedules, annexes, or explanatory notes/memoranda. An `<appendix>` element can either contain the content within the document or it can reference the content for inclusion using the `@src` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5.5 Signatures
|
||||
Some documents contain signatures of the people who introduce, sponsor, or approve the legislation. The signatures are held in a `<signatures>` block, either at the top of the main part of the document or in the appendices.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5.6 Multiple Models
|
||||
Models from multiple XML namespaces are used to construct a USLM document. The dcterms model is used for metadata. The XHTML model is used for tables. XHTML may also be used to mark the external document for inclusion within the larger legislative document. In the future, MathML may be used for equations and SVG may be used for vector graphics.
|
||||
|
||||
# 6 Concrete Model
|
||||
## 6.1 Concept
|
||||
The concrete model builds on the abstract model discussed in section 5 of this document. The concrete model implements a broad set of tags to meet specific semantic needs now and in the future. These tags are generally implemented as simple synonyms of the tags in the abstract model. This approach preserves the simplicity and flexibility of the abstract model.

||||

|

# 7 Versioning Model
|
||||
## 7.1 Concept
|
||||
Legislative documents frequently evolve as existing provisions are repeatedly amended. Managing the versioning of legislative documents is a complex problem.
|
||||
|
||||
Rather than managing versioning by creating a whole new document every time an amendment is made, the versioning is instead managed in a more granular way. USLM is designed to allow a large degree of flexibility in how the versioning takes place. This allows for limitations in the short term and for greater sophistication as needs evolve.
|
||||
|
||||
## 7.2 Managing Versions
|
||||
The USLM model for versioning allows versions to be handled in a hierarchical manner from the document root all the way down to individual provisions. In general, it is best to version at the lowest possible level of the hierarchy. This minimizes the likelihood of amendments overlapping in time, which would require the creation of different versions to handle the different states of the text through the overlapping time period.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, if versioning is too high up in the hierarchy, then each new version will cause an entire copy of the lower levels to be generated. For this reason, it is preferable to push the versioning down to the lower parts of the level – such as the `<num>` or the `<heading>` elements when versioning upper (or big) levels in legislative text.
|
||||
|
||||
When choosing a level at which to apply versioning, it must be possible for multiple versions of an element to coexist alongside one another. For this reason, the structure defined in the schema allows multiple instances of an element (maxOccurs="unbounded").
|
||||
|
||||
## 7.3 Temporal Periods
|
||||
Alternate versions of the same item exist alongside one another within the same document, with each version being associated with a specific temporal period defined by the `@startPeriod` and `@endPeriod` attributes. In cases where one of these attributes is missing, then the same attribute found at a higher level in the document hierarchy applies. If no such attribute is found, then the time period is open-ended in that temporal direction.
|
||||
|
||||
The `@startPeriod` or `@endPeriod` can be defined as either a simple date or as datetime. When defined as a simple date, then midnight at the beginning of the date is assumed when establishing the correct instant for point-in-time calculations.
|
||||
|
||||
## 7.4 Status
|
||||
The `@status` attribute is used to declare the status of a version. It is important to realize that the `@startPeriod` and `@endPeriod` are defining a time period for a version of an item and may not correspond to an effective date or repeal date.
|
||||
|
||||
Statuses in USLM include `proposed`, `withdrawn`, `cancelled`, `pending`, `operational`, `suspended`, `renumbered`, `repealed`, `expired`, `terminated`, `hadItsEffect`, `omitted`, `notAdopted`, `transferred`, `redesignated`, `reserved`, `vacant`, `crossReference`, and `unknown`.
|
||||
|
||||
# 8 Presentation Model
|
||||
## 8.1 Concept
|
||||
Presentation is based on concepts similar to XHTML. An overriding rule is to separate, as much as possible, the formatting of the text for publication from the semantic model. To the greatest extent possible, the XML elements of USLM reflect the semantic model rather than the formatting model. Some formatting elements related to presentation are included in the XML, such as the `<layout>` structure and the `<b>` and `<i>` elements. These formatting elements are provided for the sake of practicality.
|
||||
|
||||
Most styling is handled using Cascading StyleSheets (CSS), as is the case with modern HTML.
|
||||
|
||||
# 8.2 CSS Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
There are two primary attributes which are used to affect the presentation of the text:
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | **Attributes** | **Description** |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | `@class` | The `@class` attribute is used, as in HTML, to identify CSS classes. |
|
||||
| 2 | `@style` | The `@style` attribute is used to specify CSS attributes. Ordinarily, all presentation attributes should be specified in a separate CSS file. However, there are many legacy cases where individual instances do not follow the standard form for presentation of that element. In these cases, the converter should leave the non-standard formatting with the `@style` attribute where it can override the CSS attributes defined in the external stylesheet. |
|
||||
|
||||
## 8.3 HTML Representation
|
||||
There is a straightforward method to transform a USLM-based XML document to and from HTML5. This approach is designed to maintain the integrity of the information. Bidirectional transformations can occur in a web-based editing environment without losing or changing any data.
|
||||
|
||||
The method to transform from USLM-based XML to HTML5 is as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. All XML elements based on the marker, inline, or string types are transformed into HTML5 `<span>` elements.
|
||||
|
||||
2. All XML elements based on the block or content types are transformed into HTML5 `<div>` elements.
|
||||
|
||||
3. The `<layout>` XML elements are translated into HTML5 `<table>` elements. The `<layout>` child elements become `<tr>` elements unless they are the USLM `<column>` elements. In that case , a single `<tr>` row is defined to contain the columns, and the `<column>` elements become `<td>` HTML table cells.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Any `@role` attribute on the XML element becomes the `@role` attribute on the HTML5 element. If there is no `@role` attribute on the XML element, then the element name becomes the HTML5 `@role` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
5. The `@class` attribute on the HTML5 element is composed of the local name of the XML element, followed by an underscore character and the XML `@role` attribute value if it exists, followed by the XML `@class` attribute values, space separated. For instance, the element `<level role="Chapter" class="indent1">` becomes the `@class="level_Chapter indent1"` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Any `@xml:lang` attribute on the XML element becomes the HTML5 `@lang` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
7. The following attributes carry over from the XML element to an identically named HTML5 attribute: `@style`, `@id`, `@href`, `@idref`, `@src`, `@alt`, `@colspan`, and `@rowspan`.
|
||||
|
||||
8. All other attributes carry over to the HTML5 by inserting the prefix `"data-"` + namespacePrefix + `"-"` + XML attribute. For example, the `@name` attribute on the XML element becomes the `@data-uslm-name` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
9. The entire resulting HTML5 document fragment is ordinarily placed within the HTML5 `<body>` element.
|
||||
|
||||
10. CSS classes are associated with the resulting HTML5 fragment using well-established HTML5 methods.
|
||||
|
||||
The transformation from HTML5 back to USLM-based XML is accomplished by reversing the process described above.
|
||||
|
||||
# 9 Hierarchical Model
|
||||
## 9.1 Concept
|
||||
|
||||
Most legislative documents have a well-defined hierarchical structure of numbered levels. The abstract model provides a general-purpose hierarchy necessary for legislative documents. This hierarchy does not impose restrictions, but instead allows any `<level>` to be placed within any `<level>`. This flexibility allows varying structures, some of which are anomalous, to be supported without adding layers of complexity.
|
||||
|
||||
## 9.2 Levels
|
||||
|
||||
The fundamental unit of the hierarchy is the `<level>` element. A discussion below describes how the `@class` attribute and XML schema substitution groups can be used to subclass this fundamental unit to produce the various levels found in United States legislation.
|
||||
|
||||
A level is composed of (1) a `<num>` identification designation, (2) an optional `<heading>`, and (3) either primarily textual `<content>`, lower hierarchical `<level>` children, or a few other possible elements.
|
||||
|
||||
## 9.3 Big Levels vs. Small Levels
|
||||
|
||||
The principal level is the `<section>` level. Levels above the `<section>` level are referred to as "big" levels and levels below the `<section>` level are referred to as "small" levels.
|
||||
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| Big Levels | title, subtitle, chapter, subchapter, part, subpart, division, subdivision |
|
||||
| Primary Level | section |
|
||||
| Small Levels | subsection, paragraph, subparagraph, clause, subclause, item, subitem, subsubitem |
|
||||
|
||||
The primary difference between big levels and small levels is in how they are referred to in references. Big levels and primary levels are referred to using a prefix to identify the level's type. Small levels are referred to simply by using the number designation assigned to the level in a level hierarchy. Further details are discussed below under Referencing Model.
|
||||
|
||||
## 9.4 Sandwich Structures
|
||||
Sandwich structures are hierarchical levels that start and/or end with text rather than lower levels. This structure is quite common. Typically, some text will introduce the next lower level or will follow the last item of a lower level. The `<chapeau>` (French for "hat") and `<continuation>` elements are provided for this structure. The `<chapeau>` precedes the lower levels and the `<continuation>` follows the lower levels. The `<continuation>` element can also be used for cases where interstitial text is found between elements of the same level.
|
||||
|
||||
One specific type of continuation text is a paragraph-like structure beginning with "Provided that" or "Provided". The `<proviso>` element is used in this case. Multiple provisos may exist.
|
||||
|
||||
## 9.5 Table of Contents
|
||||
|
||||
A table of contents (TOC) model is provided to model the level hierarchy. A TOC can appear either at the top of a hierarchy or at lower levels, and in the main part of the document or in an appendix. The root of the TOC structure is the `<toc>` element and the levels can be arranged into a hierarchy of `<tocItem>` elements. Attributes from the description group are used to define the information in the hierarchy.
|
||||
|
||||
The `<toc>` structure can be intermixed with the `<layout>` structure to define a tabular layout for a table of contents.
|
||||
|
||||
# 10 Table Model
|
||||
|
||||
Two table-like models can be used with USLM: (1) a column-oriented model and (2) the HTML table model.
|
||||
|
||||
## 10.1 Column-Oriented
|
||||
Use the column-oriented `<layout>` model when information related to the legislative structure is to be arranged in a column- or grid-oriented fashion, but not a true table. The advantage of the column-oriented `<layout>` model is that it is defined within USLM, so it can contain other USLM elements. The drawback is that it is a non-standard table model, so it is not inherently understood by tools that handle standard HTML tables.
|
||||
|
||||
The `<layout>` model is intended to be flexible. It provides a `<row>` element for defining individual rows. When there is a row structure, the parts of each row that belong within each column are identified using the `<column>` element. Any direct child of the `<layout>` element is considered to be a row unless it is a `<layout>` element.
|
||||
|
||||
However, when the `<column>` element is a direct child of the `<layout>` element, then there is no notion of rows, and the columns form a basic structure of the `<layout>`. If `<layout>` contains any `<column>` child, then it must only contain `<column>`s as children.
|
||||
|
||||
Like HTML tables, the `<layout>` model supports the `@colspan` and the `@rowspan` elements.
|
||||
|
||||
## 10.2 HTML Tables
|
||||
|
||||
Use the HTML `<table>` model when (1) information is arranged in a tabular structure, (2) there is little information within the table that is part of the legislative structure, or (3) the structure is regarded as a normal table with gridlines and table cells.
|
||||
|
||||
An embedded HTML table will look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<schedule name="sch{num}">
|
||||
<num value="1">Schedule 1</num>
|
||||
<heading>…</heading>
|
||||
<table xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
|
||||
<th>…</th>
|
||||
<tr>…</tr>
|
||||
…
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
</schedule>
|
||||
```

# 11 Identification Model
|
||||
## 11.1 Concept
|
||||
Elements are assigned identifiers or names for two primary purposes. The first is to be able to reliably refer to the element throughout its lifetime, regardless of how it might be altered. The second is to be able to address the item based on its current state. To support both of these purposes, the available attributes are `@id`,`@temporalId`, `@name`, and `@identifier`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 11.2 Immutable Identifiers
|
||||
Immutable identifiers are unchanging identifiers that are assigned when the element is created and do not change throughout the lifetime of the element. This makes them reliable handles with which to access the elements in a database or repository system. The `@id` attribute is used for this purpose. It is defined as an XML Schema ID, which requires that all `@id` attribute values be guaranteed to be unique within a document, with no exceptions.
|
||||
|
||||
For the purposes of document management in USLM, especially in the amending cycle, `@id` values should be computed as GUID (Globally Unique Identifiers) with an "id" prefix. This means that they should be computed using an algorithm that guarantees that no two identifiers, in any document, anywhere, will ever be the same. This is a broader definition of uniqueness than imposed by the XML Schema ID definition. There are many tools available to generate GUIDs.
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever an element is moved, its `@id` attribute value must be preserved. When an element is copied, a new value for the `@id` attribute value must be generated for the new element created. Special care must be taken to ensure that the `@id` value is managed correctly. Proper management of the `@id` attribute value will provide a reliable handle upon which to attach other metadata such as commentary.
|
||||
|
||||
It is important that the value of the `@id` attribute not reflect, in any way, some aspect of the element that might change over time. For instance, if there is a number associated with an element and that number is subject to renumbering, then the `@id` attribute value should have no relation to the number that is subject to renumbering.
|
||||
|
||||
## 11.3 Temporal Identity
|
||||
|
||||
A `@temporalId` is a human-readable identity, scoped at the document level. While the `@id` attribute is defined to be unique in the document and constant throughout the lifetime of the element, and the schema enforces this uniqueness, the `@temporalId` attribute is defined loosely and changes to reflect the current location and numbering of the element over time.
|
||||
|
||||
Because the `@temporalId` attribute is assigned a value that reflects the current state of the element, special care must be taken to ensure that the value of the `@temporalId` attribute is recomputed anytime the state of the element changes. It is usually a good practice to recompute the `@temporalId` values whenever the document is committed or saved.
|
||||
|
||||
Ideally, the `@temporalId` attribute should be unique in a document, but this is not always possible due to various anomalies. For this reason, the uniqueness of the `@temporalId` attribute is not enforced by the schema, and some ambiguity is possible. How the disambiguation of duplicate names is handled is a subject that must be dealt with in the design of the software systems which will encounter this situation.
|
||||
|
||||
A recommended approach for computing the `@temporalId` value is to base the name on the hierarchy to get to the element, almost in a path-like fashion. The `@temporalId` value can be constructed as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
[parentId + "\_"] + [bigLevelPrefix] + num
|
||||
|
||||
Where:
|
||||
|
||||
parentId is the `@temporalId` value of the parent element. If the parent element does not have a `@temporalId` value or does not have a unique `@temporalId`, then the local XML name of the parent element is used, with special care being taken to ensure that all parent elements that are not unique have assigned `@name` values.
|
||||
|
||||
bigLevelPrefix = a prefix reflecting the level type, such as "p" for part, "d" for division, or "sd" for subdivision. For sections use "s". For small levels, no prefix is used.
|
||||
|
||||
num = the normalized value of the number or designation given to the level.
|
||||
|
||||
Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
The `<doc>` root level should be omitted from the computation.
|
||||
|
||||
The `<main>` level should be omitted.
|
||||
|
||||
Levels of the hierarchy should be omitted whenever the numbering of a level does not require references to the higher levels. For example, section numbers are usually unique throughout the document, so it is not necessary to use the higher big levels to compute a name. So a section can be identified as simply "s1" rather than "p1\_d1\_s1".
|
||||
|
||||
For example, part III of subchapter II of chapter 12 of Title 8 would have a `@temporalId` of "ch12\_schII\_ptIII", and subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of section 1201 of Title 8 would have a `@temporalId` of "s1201\_a\_1\_A".
|
||||
|
||||
## 11.4 Local Names
|
||||
|
||||
Local names are usually related to the parent element or container in which they are found. This is the purpose of the `@name` attribute. The most common use of the `@name` attribute is when naming a `<property>` element. The `@name` attribute is also used to name a level within the local context of its parent level.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a problem with naming a level: its name is subject to change through time. This is because levels are subject to renumbering. To support this, the `@name` can be defined in a parameterized way. The parameters will need to be evaluated whenever a document is requested for a specific point-in-time.
|
||||
|
||||
The parameters are specified within the `@name` attribute value using a curly braces notation. Two parameters can be specified:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use the {num} parameter to include the current normalized value (i.e., the `@value` attribute of the `<num>` element) in the name of the level.
|
||||
2. Use the {index} parameter to include the 1-based index position, calculated against other elements of the same type at the same level.
|
||||
|
||||
To better ensure the uniqueness of the `@name` attribute values generated in the future, a rational scheme must be designed. This is important because the `@name` attribute is also used in the mapping of links or references to elements. This process is accomplished by a web server add-in called a "resolver". Resolvers are described in the next chapter.
|
||||
|
||||
## 11.5 Identifiers
|
||||
|
||||
An `@identifier` is used on the root element to specify the URL reference to the document root. The `@identifier` is specified as an absolute path in accordance to the rules of the Reference Model described in this document.
|
||||
|
||||
An `@xml:base` attribute is also specified on the root element to specify the location of a preferred resolver capable of resolving a reference. The `@xml:base` concatenated with the `@identifier` forms a complete URL reference.
|
||||
|
||||
Typically, the `@identifier` will be established on the root element and all level elements.
|
||||
|
||||
# 12 Referencing Model
|
||||
## 12.1 Concept
|
||||
|
||||
References are a machine-readable format for making very precise citations or establishing links between different things in a document. The prevailing method for establishing references is to use HTTP-based hyperlinks, using the familiar technology prevalent on websites.
|
||||
|
||||
These references are, like websites, modeled as Universal Resource Locators (URL). A URL is a string representing a hierarchical path down to the item being requested, using forward slashes "/" as hierarchical separators. In normal websites, each level in the URL represents a folder, terminating in a file that is being requested. URLs can be specified in one of three ways: (1) global references starting with "http://{domain}"; (2) absolute paths starting with "/"; or (3) relative references starting with "./". Absolute paths typically use the local domain as the context for the URL, while relative references use the current file as the context.
|
||||
|
||||
USLM references use a variation of the absolute path technique. All references thus start with a forward slash "/". However, rather than representing folder and files, the hierarchical path represents a conceptual hierarchy down to the item in question. This path is known as a logical path. The logical path does not represent the folder/file hierarchy as with a physical path. In fact, there may be no physical path for information stored in a database rather than in a file system.
|
||||
|
||||
Web servers usually handle the task of interpreting a URL and retrieving the requested file from the file system. With USLM references, however, the mapping is not so straightforward. A web server must interpret the logical path in the URL and retrieve the requested information from a database. This task is accomplished by a web server add-in called a "resolver".
|
||||
|
||||
How the resolver is constructed depends on the web server being used and the storage format for the documents. All modern web servers provide some form of facility to allow a resolver to be constructed. This issue is discussed in greater detail below under Reference Resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
## 12.2 URL References
|
||||
The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) (http://www.ifla.org/) has developed a conceptual entity-relationship model for organizing bibliographic records (like index cards at a library). This model is called the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR – pronounced "_Ferber_"). FRBR creates the conceptual framework for the USLM references.
|
||||
|
||||
References in USLM are composed using the following format:
|
||||
|
||||
> [item][work][lang][portion][temporal][manifestation]
|
||||
|
||||
Where:
|
||||
|
||||
- item – identifies the location of an instance. For non-computer locations, this is expressed as an http domain. An example would be [http://uscode.house.gov](http://uscode.house.gov).
|
||||
|
||||
- work – identifies the logical hierarchy down to the document being referenced. This hierarchy starts by identifying the jurisdiction ("/us" for United States) and continues by identifying the document ("/usc/t5" for Title 5). The jurisdiction is included in order to distinguish between the library that serves the document and the jurisdiction where the document originated. With this approach, it is possible for a library to serve a document from a different jurisdiction.
|
||||
|
||||
- lang expression ("!" prefix) – identifies the language. If the lang is not specified, then the language is assumed to be the language of referencing document or referencing environment.
|
||||
|
||||
- portion ("/" prefix) – extends the work hierarchy to identify an item within the document. For example, "/s1/a/2" for paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of section 1 in the main body. Note that the portion is an easy mapping of the `@temporalId` for that element which is "s1\_a\_2". This gives a hint for how to resolve the portion part of a URL identifier.
|
||||
|
||||
- temporal expression ("@" prefix) - the date/time is expressed according to ISO 8601 ("@2013-05-02" for May 2, 2013). If the "@" is specified, but without a date/time, then the reference is to the current time. If no temporal expression is specified, the context may be used to identify the point-in-time, which is usually the date of the document making the reference.
|
||||
|
||||
- manifestation ("." prefix) – identifies the format as a simple file extension (".xml" for the XML file, ".htm" for HTML, and ".pdf" for the PDF).
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- /us/usc/t5/s1/a – the current version of subsection (a) of section 1 of title 5.
|
||||
|
||||
- /us/usc/t5/s1/a@2013-05-02 – the version of subsection (a) of section 1 of title 5 that was in effect on May 2, 2013.
|
||||
|
||||
- /us/usc/t5/s1/a.htm - the current version of subsection (a) of section 1 of title 5, rendered as HTML.
|
||||
|
||||
- http://uscode.house.gov/download/us/usc/t5/main/s1/a.htm the current version of subsection (a) of section 1 of title 5, rendered as HTML and delivered from http://uscode.house.gov/download.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- References in documents (using the `@href` and `@src` attributes) should always be stored as absolute paths, which omit the item part. This allows the reference to be independent of the site hosting the document. The role of the resolver is to determine which location can best serve the desired item. This allows a document to be moved from one digital library to another without changing the references within the XML. The item location is implicit in the library containing the reference. An exception is when a specific item is desired, usually when referencing an item from a foreign jurisdiction.
|
||||
|
||||
- There are generally two common methods to identify a document's type. One method is by extension as described above. The other method is to use the MIME type. The MIME type is a more robust solution because it allows for a wide variety in file extensions for the same type (g., ".htm" or ".html" for HTML files). However, file extensions are simpler and less cumbersome. This means that an agreed upon registry of file extensions should be maintained by the system.
|
||||
|
||||
## 12.3 Reference Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
There are four attributes which contain references or portions of references:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `@href` – This is a pointer or link to another document. It is generally stored as an absolute path. Prepending the domain to identify a particular instance or library from which the information is to be sourced is left to the local resolver. This allows a document to be relocated in another digital library without changing all the references.
|
||||
|
||||
2. `@portion` – Often the textual representation of a reference is scattered in several places in a document. For instance, a set of amendments might be prefaced with an identification of the document affected, such as title 5 of the United States Code, while the individual amendments might specify only a portion of that document, such as subsection (a) of section 1. The `@portion` attribute allows a reference to be extended. This will generally be constructed as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<ref id="ref001" href="/us/usc/t5"/>
|
||||
…
|
||||
<ref idref="ref001" portion="/s1/a"/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The example above shows an initial reference to title 5, United States Code. The second reference refers to the first, acquiring the first reference's `@href` and then extending it with the `@portion` to produce the reference /us/usc/t5/s1/a. This approach can be recursive.
|
||||
|
||||
3. `@src` – in addition to pointing to other documents, it is often desirable to embed other documents within a primary document. The `@src` attribute is used in this case.
|
||||
|
||||
4. `@origin` – When a fragment of a document is copied into another document, and it is necessary to record the place from which the fragment was copied, the `@origin` attribute is used. This exists for the `<quotedText>` and `<quotedContent>` elements.
|
||||
|
||||
## 12.4 Referencing Nomenclature
|
||||
The following case-insensitive referencing nomenclature is used;
|
||||
|
||||
| Short Form | Long Form | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| pl[0-9]+ | publicLaw[0-9]+ | Public Law + number – Statute |
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
| ch[0-9\|a-z]+ | chapter[0-9\|a-z]+ | Chapter + number |
|
||||
| sch[0-9\|a-z]+ | subchapter[0-9\|a-z]+ | Subchapter + number |
|
||||
| p[0-9\|a-z]+ | part[0-9\|a-z]+ | Part + number |
|
||||
| sp[0-9\|a-z]+ | subpart[0-9\|a-z]+ | Subpart + number |
|
||||
| d[0-9\|a-z]+ | division[0-9\|a-z]+ | Division + number |
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
| art[0-9\|a-z]+ | article[0-9\|a-z]+ | Article + number |
|
||||
| r[0-9\|a-z]+ | rule[0-9\|a-z]+ | Rule + number |
|
||||
| [a-z]+ | [a-z]+ | Subsection letter |
|
||||
| [0-9]+ | [0-9]+ | Paragraph number |
|
||||
| [A-Z]+ | [A-Z]+ | Subparagraph Letter (capital letters) |
|
||||
| [i-x]+ | [i-x]+ | Clause (lower case roman numeral) |
|
||||
| [I-X]+ | [I-X]+ | Subclause (upper case roman numeral) |
|
||||
| [aa-zz]+ | [aa-zz]+ | Item (double lower case letter) |
|
||||
| [AA-ZZ]+ | [AA-ZZ]+ | Subitem (double upper case letter) |
|
||||

|
||||
| preamble | preamble | Preamble |
|
||||
| proviso | proviso | Proviso |
|
||||
| app[0-9]\* | appendix[0-9]\* | Numbered or unnumbered appendix |
|
||||
|
||||
>**Note:** _The prefixes are defined to be case-insensitive. This is done as case-sensitive URLs can be problematic in some environments._
|
||||
|
||||
## 12.5 References within Amendment Instructions
|
||||
Amendments refer to the item that they are amending. The reference may be complex, specifying not only the item affected, but a relative position either within, before, or after the item affected. Three additional attributes are provided with references to allow this sort of specification:
|
||||
|
||||
- `@pos` – Specifies a position that is either at the start, before, inside, after, or at the end of the context item.
|
||||
|
||||
- `@posText` – Establishes the context for the position relative to text contained within the referenced item.
|
||||
|
||||
- `@posCount` – Specifies which occurrence of the `@posText` within the referenced item is being acted upon. By default, the first occurrence is assumed. In addition to specifying which occurrence, the values all, none, first, and last may also be used.
|
||||
|
||||
## 12.6 Reference Resolver
|
||||
The URL-based references that are established create the links between various documents within the system. A software component is added to the web server to interpret the references, find the relevant piece within the database repository, extract it, and perform any necessary assembly and transformation before returning the result to the requester. This web server add-in is called a resolver. How it is built is determined by the web servers being used. In general, the resolver will perform the following sequence of functions:
|
||||
|
||||
1. It will receive a reference from a requestor.
|
||||
|
||||
2. It will canonicalize the reference, normalizing the text to match one of the forms it understands.
|
||||
|
||||
3. If the reference is to the U.S. jurisdiction and the resolver understands the reference, then it will attempt to resolve it by retrieving the XML from the document. This might be either an entire document of a fraction thereof.
|
||||
|
||||
4. If the reference is to another jurisdiction, and the resolver is able to resolve the reference, either locally or by deferring to another web server, then the resolver will resolve the reference that way.
|
||||
|
||||
5. If the reference is not understood, then the resolve will return a _404 – file not found_ error.
|
||||
|
||||
6. If the document is being resolved locally, and the XML has been extracted from the database, then it may need to be assembled or otherwise processed to ensure that the correct temporal state has been established. If no temporal information is contained in the URL, then the present state is assumed.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Once the correct XML has been created, if a format other than XML has been requested it will need to be transformed and/or converted into the correct format. This may involve transforming the XML into HTML or creating a PDF.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Some of the steps above may be circumvented in the interest of performance and efficiency with a good caching strategy.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Once the requested item has been retrieved, assembled, and transformed, it is returned to the requestor using HTTP.
|
||||
|
||||
There are several strategies that the resolver can use to find the item referenced by the work part of the reference URL:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The fastest method, if there is a reliable mapping between the `@name` value and the work part of the reference URL, is to map between the reference path and the `@name`. This approach is best when the XML documents are shredded into parts and stored as separate items, either in the file system or in a relational database.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Another strategy is to rewrite the reference URL hierarchy as an XPath query. This approach is best when there is a good mapping between the reference hierarchy and the document hierarchy, and the information is stored in an XML repository that supports XPath. Performance might be an issue for more complex XPath queries.
|
||||
|
||||
3. The third strategy is to create an indexing mechanism. This solution might rely on the inherent capabilities of the chosen database or repository, or it might be some sort of predefined mapping. How this strategy should ultimately be designed is beyond the scope of this User Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
For a specific document, the preferred resolver is identified using the `@xml:base` attribute on the root element. For instance:
|
||||
|
||||
`xml:base="resolver.mydomain.com"`
|
||||
|
||||
The `@xml:base` concatenated with the `@identifier` forms a complete URL reference.
|
||||
|
||||
A preferred resolver does not currently exist for USLM. Therefore, the `@xml:base` attribute is not provided in current USLM documents. The United States House intends to provide a resolver in the future. If and when that occurs, the `@xml:base` attribute will point to that resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
# 13 Metadata Model
|
||||
## 13.1 Concept
|
||||
In addition to the text in an XML document, there is also a need to store a significant amount of metadata about a document. There are a few ways in which this metadata might be stored:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Within the document in a separate partition.
|
||||
2. Scattered within the document.
|
||||
3. In a separate file.
|
||||
4. In a relational database.
|
||||
|
||||
All four of these approaches can be supported. First, there is an optional `<meta>` block defined at the start of the document. Within this block, properties and sets of properties can be stored. The model for this metadata is open and extensible to support a wide range of needs, while also keeping the core concepts very simple. The metadata stored here can either be generated in an ongoing fashion, or as the result of an analysis of the text after it has been committed, or as a combination of these.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the basic `<meta>` block, attributes are provided throughout the document for storing metadata about a particular element with that elements. Most of these attributes have prescribed usage, and the model is not as general and flexible as the `<meta>` block. However, there are a few attributes set aside for unprescribed uses. These include the `@misc`, `@draftingTip`, and `@codificationTip`.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to store metadata in a separate file or in a relational database. If a separate file is chosen, no format for this file is prescribed. It can be an XML file, some other text file, or even a binary file. One option for the format is to borrow the `<meta>` tag with its `<property>` and `<set>` children from USLM. This is merely an option; it is not prescribed.
|
||||
|
||||
If the information is stored in a separate file or is stored in a database, then it may be necessary to maintain a strict association between the XML elements and the records in the file. For this reason, element `@id` values are defined to be immutable, in order to provide a reliable handle for making associations. If the `@id` attribute cannot be managed reliably, then the separate file and database options should be avoided.
|
||||
|
||||
## 13.2 Properties
|
||||
|
||||
Properties are basic elements that may or may not have string content. The `@name` attribute acts as the primary identification for a `<property>`. The `@value` attribute (and its range siblings) or the `@date` attribute (and its range siblings) are used to place normalized values of dates. Sometimes, a value or date might exist as both text content in the element and, in a normalized form, as an attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
Properties are primarily intended for use within the `<meta>` block or within `<set>` groupings within the `<meta>` block. However, it is also possible for properties to be used as inline elements within the main part of the document.
|
||||
|
||||
## 13.3 Sets
|
||||
Properties can be grouped into simple sets. A `<set>` is essentially a property folder. Like a `<property>`, the `@name` attribute acts as the primary identification for a property. Property sets can be nested.
|
||||
|
||||
# 14 Notes Model
|
||||
# 14.1 Concept
|
||||
|
||||
Notes are found throughout the United States Code. USLM defines a very flexible model to support all the different types of notes that are found.
|
||||
|
||||
## 14.2 Note Classes
|
||||
|
||||
The abstract model provides two basic elements for implementing notes.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.2.1 Individual notes
|
||||
The basic `<note>` implement provides the fundamental model for a note. A note can be simple string of text or it can be a complex structure of text.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.2.2 Notes collection
|
||||
Notes can be grouped together into a collection using a `<notes>` container.
|
||||
|
||||
## 14.3 Type of notes
|
||||
There are four primary types of notes. Use the @type attribute to specify the note type:
|
||||
|
||||
1. inline – notes that are shown inline where they appear in the text.
|
||||
|
||||
2. endnote – notes that appear at the end of the level in which they appear. A `<ref>` pointer may be used to point to these notes
|
||||
|
||||
3. footnote - notes that appear at the bottom of the page in which a reference to that note appears. A `<ref>` pointer is used to point to these notes.

# 16 Appendix: United States Code
|
||||
## 16.1 Brief Introduction to the United States Code
|
||||
The schema described in this User Guide is used to produce the United States Code in XML. The United States Code contains the general and permanent laws of the United States, organized into titles based on subject matter.
|
||||
|
||||
The United States Code is prepared and published by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b. For the printed version of the Code, a complete new edition is printed every six years, and five annual cumulative supplements are printed in the intervening years.
|
||||
|
||||
The Office of the Law Revision Counsel also produces an online HTML version of the United States Code for searching and browsing (http://uscode.house.gov/). The online HTML version of the United States Code is updated continuously as new laws are enacted.
|
||||
|
||||
The Office of the Law Revision Counsel also produces (beginning July 30, 2013) an XML version of the United States Code for download (http://uscode.house.gov/download/download.shtml). The XML version is updated continuously as new laws are enacted.
|
||||
|
||||
## 16.2 Bulk Data Downloads of XML Files
|
||||
### 16.2.1 Directory Structure
|
||||
The download directory (http://uscode.house.gov/download/download.shtml) contains one XML file for each title of the United States Code and a zip file for the entire Code. The directory also includes the XML schema files required for XML validation. A CSS stylesheet is provided for convenience. The CSS stylesheet is informational only and is not part of the United States Code.
|
||||
|
||||
### 16.2.2 Download Protocols
|
||||
Bulk download is supported via HTTP protocols.
|
||||
|
||||
### 16.2.3 Versions
|
||||
The most current version of the United States Code is available in XML, and prior versions in XML created on or after July 30, 2013, are also available. Eventually, the titles of some prior editions of the United States Code will also be available in XML. During the beta period, the XML format is subject to change. Some titles may be replaced with updated versions. The creation date and effective date of each title is provided on the website and in the metadata within the XML files.
|
||||
|
||||
## 16.3 Authenticity of Data
|
||||
Section 204(a) of title 1, United States Code, which was enacted in 1947, relates to the printed version of the United States Code. It provides:
|
||||
|
||||
>In all courts, tribunals, and public offices of the United States, at home or abroad, of the District of Columbia, and of each State, Territory, or insular possession of the United States[,t]he matter set forth in the edition of the Code of Laws of the United States current at any time shall, together with the then current supplement, if any, establish prima facie the laws of the United States, general and permanent in their nature, in force on the day preceding the commencement of the session following the last session the legislation of which is included: _Provided, however_, That whenever titles of such Code shall have been enacted into positive law the text thereof shall be legal evidence of the laws therein contained, in all the courts of the United States, the several States, and the Territories and insular possessions of the United States.
|
||||
|
||||
In producing the United States Code, the Office of the Law Revision Counsel uses the same data to produce the printed version, the HTML version, and the XML version.
|
||||
|
||||
The HTML and XML files created by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel can be manipulated and enriched by others and offered to the public in new forms. Once data moves beyond the direct control of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel, the Office cannot vouch for its accuracy. Consumers should make their own determinations as to the reliability of data from other sources.

He did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the Government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his reelection, harm the election prospects of a political opponent, and influence the 2020 United States Presidential election to his advantage. President Trump also sought to pressure the Government of Ukraine to take these steps by conditioning official United States Government acts of significant value to Ukraine on its public announcement of the investigations. President Trump engaged in this scheme or course of conduct for corrupt purposes in pursuit of personal political benefit. In so doing, President Trump used the powers of the Presidency in a manner that compromised the national security of the United States and undermined the integrity of the United States democratic process. He thus ignored and injured the interests of the Nation.</content></section>

<section id="idE37EBFAD5EC748358030F0F5819F3893"><content class="inline">The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In his conduct of the office of President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Donald J. Trump has directed the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives pursuant to its “sole Power of Impeachment”. President Trump has abused the powers of the Presidency in a manner offensive to, and subversive of, the Constitution, in that:</content></section>

<section id="id54719EFF7E4F41BC968873050855D1BF"><content class="inline">The House of Representatives has engaged in an impeachment inquiry focused on President Trump’s corrupt solicitation of the Government of Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 United States Presidential election. As part of this impeachment inquiry, the Committees undertaking the investigation served subpoenas seeking documents and testimony deemed vital to the inquiry from various Executive Branch agencies and offices, and current and former officials.</content></section>
|
||||
<section id="id30608543C0FA4B6D9BE23ADEF780DEF0"><content class="inline">In response, without lawful cause or excuse, President Trump directed Executive Branch agencies, offices, and officials not to comply with those subpoenas. President Trump thus interposed the powers of the Presidency against the lawful subpoenas of the House of Representatives, and assumed to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the “sole Power of Impeachment” vested by the Constitution in the House of Representatives.</content></section>

<section id="id146D1E4FA67842DD9BA58672FB70D194"><content class="inline">These actions were consistent with President Trump’s previous efforts to undermine United States Government investigations into foreign interference in United States elections.</content></section>
|
||||
<section id="id0AE0D39B99E043E1A4AFABFB3012B63F"><content class="inline">Through these actions, President Trump sought to arrogate to himself the right to determine the propriety, scope, and nature of an impeachment inquiry into his own conduct, as well as the unilateral prerogative to deny any and all information to the House of Representatives in the exercise of its “sole Power of Impeachment”. In the history of the Republic, no President has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry or sought to obstruct and impede so comprehensively the ability of the House of Representatives to investigate “high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. This abuse of office served to cover up the President’s own repeated misconduct and to seize and control the power of impeachment—and thus to nullify a vital constitutional safeguard vested solely in the House of Representatives.</content></section>
|
||||
<section id="id80666019ADC44465A00F94BCE8516D20"><content class="inline">In all of this, President Trump has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.</content></section>
|
||||
<section id="id3D60EFCE0268432AB54FC8D65F3458DD"><content class="inline">Wherefore, President Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. President Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.</content></section></main>

<recital>Whereas brothers Ylli, Agron, and Mehmet Bytyqi were citizens of the United States, born in Chicago, Illinois, to ethnic Albanian parents from what is today the Republic of Kosovo, and who subsequently lived in Hampton Bays, New York;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas the three Bytyqi brothers responded to the brutality of the conflict associated with Kosovo’s<br verticalSpace="nextPage"/> separation from the Republic of Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia of which Serbia was a constituent republic by joining the so-called “Atlantic Brigade” of the Kosovo Liberation Army in April 1999;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas a Military-Technical Agreement between the Government of Yugoslavia and the North Atlantic Council came into effect on June 10, 1999, leading to a cessation of hostilities;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas the Bytyqi brothers were arrested on June 23, 1999, by Serbian police within the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia when the brothers accidently crossed what was then an unmarked administrative border while escorting an ethnic Romani family who had been neighbors to safety outside Kosovo;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas the Bytyqi brothers were jailed for 15 days for illegal entry into the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in Prokuplje, Serbia, until a judge ordered their release on July 8, 1999;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas instead of being released, the Bytyqi brothers were taken by a special operations unit of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs to a training facility near Petrovo Selo, Serbia, where all three were executed;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas at the time of their murders, Ylli was 25, Agron was 23, and Mehmet was 21 years of age;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was removed from office on October 5, 2000, following massive demonstrations protesting his refusal to acknowledge and accept election results the month before;</recital>

<recital>Whereas in the following years, the political leadership of Serbia has worked to strengthen democratic institutions, to develop stronger adherence to the rule of law, and to ensure respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, including as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia evolved into a State Union of Serbia and Montenegro in February 2003, which itself dissolved when both republics proclaimed their respective independence in June 2006;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas the United States Embassy in Belgrade, Serbia, was informed on July 17, 2001, that the bodies of Ylli, Agron, and Mehmet Bytyqi were found with their hands bound and gunshot wounds to the back of their heads, buried atop an earlier mass grave of approximately 70 bodies of murdered civilians from Kosovo;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas Serbian authorities subsequently investigated but never charged those individuals who were part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs chain of command related to this crime, including former Minister of Internal Affairs Vlajko Stojilkovic, Assistant Minister and Chief of the Public Security Department Vlastimir Djordjevic, and special operations training camp commander Goran “Guri” Radosavljevic;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas Vlajko Stojilkovic died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in April 2002 prior to being transferred to the custody of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia where he had been charged with crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of war during the Kosovo conflict;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas Vlastimir Djordjevic was arrested and transferred to the custody of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in June 2007, and sentenced in February 2011 to 27 years imprisonment (later reduced to 18 years) for crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of war committed during the Kosovo conflict;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas Goran “Guri” Radosavljevic is reported to reside in Serbia, working as director of a security consulting firm in Belgrade, and is a prominent member of the governing political party;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas the Secretary of State designated Goran Radosavljevic of Serbia under section 7031(c) of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2018 as ineligible for entry into the United States due to his involvement in gross violations of human rights;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas two Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs officers, Sretan Popovic and Milos Stojanovic, were charged in 2006 for crimes associated with their involvement in the detention and transport of the Bytyqi brothers from Prokuplje to Petrovo Selo, but acquitted in May 2012 with an appeals court confirming the verdict in March 2013;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic promised several high ranking United States officials to deliver justice in the cases of the deaths of Ylli, Agron, and Mehmet Bytyqi;</recital>
|

<recital>Whereas no individual has ever been found guilty for the murders of Ylli, Agron, and Mehmet Bytyqi or of any other crimes associated with their deaths; and</recital>

<recital>Whereas the Government of the People’s Republic of China is legally bound to guarantee the civil liberties of the people of Hong Kong through 2047 under the Basic Law and the “Joint Declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on the Question of Hong Kong” (hereafter the “Joint Declaration”), in which the People’s Republic of China committed that for 50 years, the “social and economic systems in Hong Kong will remain unchanged, and so will the life-style.”;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas Article 39 of the Basic Law of Hong Kong mandates that: “The provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and international labour conventions as applied to Hong Kong shall remain in force and shall be implemented through the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.”;</recital>

|

<recital>Whereas the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China has inserted a national security law directly into Annex III of the Basic Law of Hong Kong, and said national security law is purportedly intended to prevent and punish acts of “separating the country, subverting state power, and organizing terroristic activities”;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas said action is a flagrant violation of Hong Kong’s autonomy and rule of law in that Article 18 of the Basic Law provides that laws included in Annex III are “confined to those relating to defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the limits of the autonomy of the Region as specified by this Law”;</recital>
|

<recital>Whereas Article 23 further specifies that “[Hong Kong] shall enact laws on its own to prohibit any act of treason, secession, sedition, subversion against the Central People’s Government”;</recital>
|
||||
<recital>Whereas through a similar abuse of Annex III of the Basic Law of Hong Kong, the Government of the People’s Republic of China caused the adoption of the National Anthem Law in Hong Kong, which curtails the freedom of speech and carries a maximum sentence of 3 years, mirroring the extent of sentence under the People’s Republic of China Criminal Law;</recital>
|
