This page is an index of overview documents that describe, non-technically, different classes of element found in Layer 2 of the oai4courts caselaw metadata standard. They provide descriptions of the different logical entities described by the oai4courts Layer 2 elements, as well as pointers to each.
Note that these are intended for use in caselaw metadata (as opposed to caselaw markup), but some of the thinking involved applies to both.
