7       for use in an OMF metadata file

SYNOPSIS

10       scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid [--help]

DESCRIPTION

14       This generates a unique id for use as the  seriesid  attribute  to  the
15       relation  element  in  the OMF metadata.  This id is referred to as the
16       "series id" or "seriesid".
17
18       The seriesid is used to specify a group (or series) of documents  which
19       are related.  For example, multiple versions, formats, and translations
20       of a single document are considered to be in the  same  series.   Thus,
21       any  new  version,  translation, etc. of a pre-existing document should
22       inherit the seriesid of the original document.   Only  document  series
23       which have never been assigned a seriesid in the past should use scrol‐
24       lkeeper-gen-seriesid to obtain a new seriesid.
25
26       ScrollKeeper uses the seriesid of documents to identify which documents
27       are  related  to  each  other.  For example, when creating the contents
28       list, ScrollKeeper must identify if  two  documents  are  in  the  same
29       series  in  order  to display the most complete set of documents on the
30       system, using locale fallback for documents which may not be translated
31       into  a  given  locale,  without  displaying  the  same document in two
32       locales.
