Shared publisher terms

Retired terms

Each term below was in the index until the day shown. Read as exact words, letter case kept, the retained text of at least one entry listed under it does not hold them, so the term was retired from the index. Each address still answers, here, with what was listed, each text that did not hold the words, and what that text prints instead.

Where each term sits in the text

A term can be printed in the passage a document opens as its scope, or elsewhere in that document, or nowhere in it. Each of those is a position in a document’s own arrangement, and a position is not a degree. What the difference between two of them is worth is the reader’s to settle. The values below carry no order of their own: they are listed alphabetically by their own label, and every cell beneath one is a count.

What was read

The record holds 132 tracked entries. Of those, 94 name a retained text in the observation store, and the reading below covers exactly them: for each, the text its newest observation carrying one names. Another 33 carry a licence position under which no text is read here at all — a restricted text is cited and linked, never excerpted — and 5 name no retained text, so nothing was searched for them and no absence is filed against them.

This section keeps the reading it was first published with, which is not the index’s: a term is matched verbatim, the words as written, an optional trailing s, ignoring case, on word boundaries. No synonym, no stem, no paraphrase. So a term can be counted here in a text the index above does not list it for, where that text prints it only with the s or only with other capitals. A scope passage opens where the text prints a structural marker of its own — an article number, a section symbol, a clause number — followed immediately by the word scope, and closes where that same marker form next appears followed by a capitalised word. Two printings are not read as openings, because each is how a publisher sets a contents list rather than a passage: one whose marker is followed by dot leaders within 40 characters, and one the next marker of the same form crowds within 60. Where a text prints markers of more than one form, the most specific form yielding a candidate is the one read, so an article number is read as an article and not as a bare clause number. Where the text prints more than one opening under all of that, nothing is published for it: several openings is an ambiguity, and choosing between them mechanically would be this record inventing which passage a publisher meant.

The values, and what each one says

absent from the retained text

the retained text was read and the term is not in it

in the retained text, outside the scope passage

the term is in the retained text, and every occurrence of it falls outside the passage that text opens as its scope

in the retained text; no scope passage located

the term is in the retained text, and this read located no passage opening as scope in that text — so neither of the two values above can be stated for it

within the scope passage

at least one occurrence falls inside the passage the text opens as its scope

Where each term sits, across the texts read

The texts that open a passage this way

Of the 94 retained texts read, 17 print exactly one opening of that form, 75 print none, and 2 print more than one. That a text prints none is a fact about what this reader can locate in a retained text and not a statement about how a publisher arranges a document.

2 print more than one opening, and nothing is published for them, because nothing mechanical says which passage a publisher meant: EU GMP Annex 1 1. Scope · 1 Scope; EU GMP Annex 11 (draft) 12.7. Scope · 13.1. Scope · 14.2. Scope · 16.5. Scope.

How this section and the lists above were measured

Every count in this section was taken from the retained texts this build read, on the day it read them.

The list of entries under each term in the index was generated on 2026-08-22 and names the sources whose text then carried a quotable span holding the term, with a trailing s allowed and capitals ignored; each span, and the section named with it, was recorded the same day. Each entry on the list whose text is read here is read again by this build, in the same retained text this section reads for it, under the index’s own rule: the count and the day beside it are that reading, and a recorded span is shown only where that text holds it. So the counts in the index and in this section are two readings of the same texts in one build, under two different rules, and are not presented as one measurement. The notices for the retired terms are not read again: each states the reading recorded when the term was retired, on 2026-09-24.

Compared term by term: for 9 of 9 the count of texts holding the term here exceeds the length of that term’s list, for 0 it falls short of it, and the rest agree. The 9 include the 4 retired from the index, each compared with the list it was published with.
