Internal structure of a Genbook module made using xml2gbs
xml2gbs 1.0 is the OSIS/ThML/TEI General Book module creation tool for the SWORD Project.
The XML multilevel div element structure is converted by xml2gbs to a module internal structure that seems to deviate from the strict specification for OSIS. For example, the output of mod2imp BaptistConfession1646 contains the following IMP format references:
$$$ $$$/Confession $$$/Confession/Introduction $$$/Confession/Section 1 $$$/Confession/Section 2 $$$/Confession/Section 3 $$$/Confession/Section 4 $$$/Confession/Section 5 $$$/Confession/Section 6 $$$/Confession/Section 7 $$$/Confession/Section 8 $$$/Confession/Section 9 $$$/Confession/Section 10 $$$/Confession/Section 11 $$$/Confession/Section 12 $$$/Confession/Section 13 $$$/Confession/Section 14 $$$/Confession/Section 15 $$$/Confession/Section 16 $$$/Confession/Section 17 $$$/Confession/Section 18 $$$/Confession/Section 19 $$$/Confession/Section 20 $$$/Confession/Section 21 $$$/Confession/Section 22 $$$/Confession/Section 23 $$$/Confession/Section 24 $$$/Confession/Section 25 $$$/Confession/Section 26 $$$/Confession/Section 27 $$$/Confession/Section 28 $$$/Confession/Section 29 $$$/Confession/Section 30 $$$/Confession/Section 31 $$$/Confession/Section 32 $$$/Confession/Section 33 $$$/Confession/Section 34 $$$/Confession/Section 35 $$$/Confession/Section 36 $$$/Confession/Section 37 $$$/Confession/Section 38 $$$/Confession/Section 39 $$$/Confession/Section 40 $$$/Confession/Section 41 $$$/Confession/Section 42 $$$/Confession/Section 43 $$$/Confession/Section 44 $$$/Confession/Section 45 $$$/Confession/Section 46 $$$/Confession/Section 47 $$$/Confession/Section 48 $$$/Confession/Section 49 $$$/Confession/Section 50 $$$/Confession/Section 51 $$$/Confession/Section 52 $$$/Confession/Conclusion $$$/Appendix $$$/Appendix/Appx_Introduction $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 1 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 2 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 3 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 4 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 5 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 6 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 7 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 8 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 9 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 10 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 11 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 12 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 13 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 14 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 15 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 16 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 17 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 18 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 19 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 20 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 21 $$$/Appendix/Appx_Section 22
Observe that the level 1 div elements with type="majorSection" had osisID="Confession" and osisID="Appendix" in the source XML file. Likewise, the level 2 div elements with type="chapter" had osisID="Introduction" and osisID="Section 1", etc. The use of the / separator within the module structure is why this separator is required in each internal osisRef string in order to make it work as a link.

Example OSIS Genbook - root element attribute links not found
3 of the 4 links in the root element were not found by a web browser when copied from the subsection "Example OSIS Genbook". root element meaning the tag starting with <osis xsi:schemaLocation ...>. Were the links not found because of operator error?
A stack overflow post what is the use of xsi:schemaLocation? had a question about a similar root tag which started with <beans xmlns ...>. An answer at the end by Mojun Zhu said "If you go into any of those locations, then you will find what is defined in those schema." For the stack overflow post, a web page was observed when the links were entered into a browser. But for the Example OSIS Genbook, a "not found" result was observed for 3 of the 4 the links.--Gregs650 (talk) 22:13, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
