Each connection described in this part of the web site will generally include the following elements.
- An originating issue, Issue 1. Note that each issue is associated with one or more categories.
- A connected issue, Issue 2.
- A tag line, a one sentence description. The tag line will link to the rest of the information about the connection.
- At least one example from real life (or a research result).
- At least one reference (or source)
that substantiates the connection or the example.
If possible, this will be a primary reference. For instance, if there is a statistic that substantiates the connection, the original source of the statistic will be cited. Secondary references will also be included, especially when there is no primary source or the secondary reference increases the readers comprehension of the issue.
If there are references to pages on the World Wide Web, the web addresses will be included. If the web-page reference is likely to be short-lived (such as a news story), quotes from the reference should be included. All such quotes will be properly cited.
- Credit to the author.
- Classifications of the connection. There are many classes of connections and a single connection may belong to more than one class. A classification of connections could include causality, composition (part of), inheritance (kind-of or peer versus descendant versus ancestor), classification itself, identity (ranging through individuation and differentiation to opposite), inclusion (versus exclusion), cardinality (how many), generality (versus specificity), and mappings (which may be one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many).
- Links to pages pertaining to the original and connected issues.
