How the References Connect

The corpus uses IDs to form one directed graph:

ordo-kidase-demo
  -> sec-liturgy-of-word
     -> block-kyrie
     -> block-gospel
        -> reading-john-1-1-5

proper-demo-feast
  -> gospel-of-the-day
     -> reading-john-1-1-5

The proper reuses the reading instead of copying it. The teaching note targets the block but remains separate from performable content. Before publishing this illustrative corpus, add complete citations, provenance, people or organizations for review, and profile-specific metadata required by the intended use.
