Definition: orgl last revised by 127.0.0.1 on Aug 17, 2005 4:20 am

derived from ORGanizing eLement, it refers to a particular arrangement of bytes, usually text.

In udanax-green, an ORGL is a 2-dimensional enfilade representing a permutation matrix, or POOM.

In udanax-gold, ORGLs are the same as OTrees, also called an Edition of a Work or document. In udanax-gold, they may have the following states:

  • complete or full -- has all the data that it will ever contain.

  • partial -- has some areas in its coordinate space that are not associated with data yet, but may be in the future.

  • ready -- contains some data (associated with positions). This can either be a partial orgl with some data in it or a complete orgl. I'm not sure what this should mean for a complete but empty orgl.

  • unready -- partial but with no data in it.
