**SYNTHESIS NOTES**
- The **PINAX metadata file** (@file_pinax) ties together the **Oxx vs. Mix case** (@oxx_vs_mix) and the **high‑resolution collection** (@oxxvsmix_collection), confirming that both represent the same legal proceeding within the BAAI project.
- The **subject‑index field** appears in two forms across subdirectories (as a `:field` and as a `:concept`). They are linked with a “same as” relationship, unifying the schema used for indexing BAAI case files.
- The **BAAI project** (@project_baai) both **indexes** the collection and **uses** the subject‑index field, illustrating the workflow: digitize files → assign subject terms → make searchable via the indexed collection.
- Temporal context is captured by the creation date range **1741‑1742** for both the case and the collection, reinforcing that the collection aggregates documents from that specific period.# Reorganization Summary
Files were grouped thematically by content (1741/42 court costs) and format (high-res TIFFs vs. reference JPEGs). The filenames confirm all documents pertain to the same case ('OxxvsMix') within the NHSC_BAAI project, with identical content across formats. No ungrouped files remain as all were logically categorized by either content period or preservation format.
## Groups Created
- **NHSC_BAAI_Costs_OxxvsMix_1741-1742**: Files related to court costs and fees from the 1741/42 term of the New Haven County Superior Court, involving Black/African American/Indigenous (BAAI) cases. These documents detail expenses like jury fees, attorney fees, and other court charges.
- **NHSC_BAAI_Costs_OxxvsMix_HighRes**: High-resolution TIFF versions of the court cost documents (same content as the JPEGs, but archival quality). Grouped separately due to distinct use cases (e.g., preservation vs. reference).
