Origami Text: Editors

Origami turns the manuscript from a sequence of pages into a collection of stable, inspectable intellectual objects. Editorial work can therefore attach to meaning and structure rather than to brittle page coordinates, and many integrity checks can be performed automatically before publication.

  • Element-level editorial discussion anchored to exact paragraphs, figures, equations, or tables.
  • Less reliance on brittle page and line references.
  • Annotations that survive reflow.
  • Comments anchored to semantic elements rather than screen coordinates.
  • More reliable annotation migration between revisions.
  • Stable IDs plus quote evidence to determine whether a comment still applies.
  • Exact versus inferred re-anchoring can be distinguished.
  • Revision lineage can be inspected.
  • Editors can see which intellectual units survived, changed, split, merged, or were replaced.
  • Changed-assertion detection becomes possible.
  • Semantic consistency checking across a publication.
  • Definition management for important concepts.
  • All occurrences of a concept can be inspected together.
  • Citation completeness checking.
  • Glossary integrity checking.
  • Broken-address detection before publication.
  • Bibliographic normalization around one canonical record.
  • Figure accessibility checking.
  • 3D asset quality review including scale, orientation, poster, source, file size, and description.
  • Live-data editorial verification of table formulas.
  • Equation integrity checking.
  • Structure auditing against actual XHTML.
  • Metadata disagreement warnings with deterministic precedence.
  • Authorial map review.
  • Concept-centric editing.
  • Citation-centric editing.
  • Person- or entity-centric editing.
  • Argument inspection as claims, evidence, objections, dependencies, and sources.
  • Editorial reading passes such as headings-only, citations-only, concepts-only, figures-only, or changed-elements-only.
  • AI editorial suggestions that can cite precise source elements.
  • LLM-visible metadata for text-only review pipelines.
  • External editorial annotation layers can be compared, shared, or merged without rewriting the manuscript.
  • Live multi-party review can be attached to the same addressed paragraph through compatible annotation services such as Hypothesis or other Web Annotation-based systems.
  • Reference checking can extend beyond existence to DOI resolution, missing-field detection, and comparison with trusted reference datasets.
  • Explicit DPUB-ARIA and structural semantics make headings, notes, glossary, bibliography, and other structures lintable rather than merely visually inspectable.
  • A reader/editor can support side-by-side comparison between a liquid/reflowable view and a PDF or print-oriented rendering where such a rendition is available.
  • Local or private LLM review can use the publication’s structured terminology, citations, and element addresses for consistency and citation-claim checks.
