Court Opinion XML Standard (OG-XML): [info coming soon]

Data Import XML Standard (RAW): OpenGavel's RAW standard is similar to the main standard but is only used within the project to import outside data. The standard models much of the same information available in OpenGavel's main XML standard but it is designed to be more simple model of the underlying court document without some of the additional metadata that is later added to the markup. A document in the RAW model will have information contained in the document itself it will not contain metadata derived from outside sources such as the OG id's associated with cited documents or information on inbound citations. Other differences between are designed to make initial markup, readability, and error checking easier.

The XSLT schema that describes the RAW document model is located at http://www.opengavel.com/xsd/raw_case_schema_current.xsd. The schema is currently still in a development stage and should not be relied on as a stable release. Information on possible future changes can be found under the data modelling and markup section of the feature/bug list. Below is a listing of the current tags in use.
