Game notation beyond chess, craft and folding diagrams, and the apparatus of textual scholarship and bibliographic identification. What holds the group together is that several members are universally used and formally unregulated — chess annotation symbols are not FIDE's, baseball scorekeeping has no standard form and scorers invent their own, a collation formula is a scholarly convention. Others state exactly what a guarantee covers: a DOI persists only while its registrant maintains the record, an ISSN identifies a title and a medium rather than a publication. Two members carry a documented origin that reverses the usual assumption — jianpu came from France, and the French card suits won on printing cost.
