SPASE resource metadata can contain textual content that describe the resource. While descriptive text
may be brief some formatting of the text may be necessary to convey the necessary information. A
principal of the SPASE data model is that an element may contain a value or other elements. Mixed
content (values plus elements) is not allowed. To be consistent with this principal SPASE should adopt a
set of text normalization rules which will allow some structuring of textual content. This document
describes a recommended set of text normalization rules and demonstrates how those rules can be
used in practice.
