Abstract
That the textual phenomena of interest for markup are not always
hierarchically arranged is well known and widely discussed. Less
frequently discussed is the fact that they are also not always
contiguous, so that the units of our analysis cannot always correspond
to single elements in the document. Various notations for
discontinuous elements exist,
but the mapping from those notations to data structures has not been
well analysed or understood. And as far as we know, there are
no standard mechanisms for validating discontinuous elements.
We propose a data structure (a modification of the Goddag structure) to better
handle discontinuous elements: we relax the rule that every
pair of elements where one contains the other be related by
a path of parent/child links. Parent/child links are then not an
automatic result of containment. We conclude with a brief
sketch of the issues involved in extending current validation
mechanisms to handle discontinuity.
