Read a norm

Your agent cites down to the clause. What was missing was a way to check it without reopening a PDF and hunting for page 35.

Every norm in your corpus opens from stratta.ch/corpus: click its code and you are in the text.

Moving around#

The outline on the left is the tree of the norm, folded to its chapters. It follows your reading: as you go down a chapter, the clause in front of you is marked and the levels open along the way.

A chapter reads in one go, its sub-clauses one after the other. Clicking the heading of one selects it, which moves the right-hand panel without interrupting the reading.

Every clause has its own address: stratta.ch/corpus/sia-267/9.5.2. It pastes into an email, it bookmarks, it turns up in a history.

Searching#

The field above the outline does two things at once: it narrows the tree to matching headings, and searches the text of the norm. Accents do not count, and typing a clause number (9.5.2) opens that clause directly.

To search your whole corpus at once, press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) from any page. Results are grouped by norm, headings before paragraphs.

Following references#

The right-hand panel shows what the clause points at and what points at it.

• Points to: the clause's own references. Those aimed at a norm in your corpus are links; the others stay visible — the norm names them — but are marked as outside your corpus.
• Cited by: what points at this clause. That is the direction paper never gives, and the one you want before changing a value.
• Your dossiers: the dossiers of your organisation that cite this clause. The day the edition changes, that is the list of what needs a second look.

Taking the text elsewhere#

Everything useful copies in one click:

Filing a clause into a dossier#

"Add to a dossier", at the top of the right-hand panel, files the clause into an open dossier with its full citation — the same one a piece of evidence filed by your agent carries. The two read side by side.

What else the reader shows you#

A clause whose text was not captured at ingestion says so, and points at the page number of the printed document. In the outline, those clauses carry a small dashed circle.

This is useful: a norm's coverage score can read "complete" while a handful of sub-clauses are missing. The reader is the only place where that shows.
