The input element may occur any number of times. This input is a local input with the 
offset and set attributes.

Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
offset uint_type required 
The offset attribute represents the offset into the list of indices.  If two input elements share 
the same offset, they will be indexed the same.  This works as a simple form of compression for the 
list of indices as well as defining the order the inputs should be used in.  Required attribute.
semantic xs:NMTOKEN required 
The semantic attribute is the user-defined meaning of the input connection. Required attribute.
set uint_type optional 
The set attribute indicates which inputs should be grouped together as a single set. This is helpful 
when multiple inputs share the same semantics.
source urifragment_type required 
The source attribute indicates the location of the data source. Required attribute.
