Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
creator QCodeType optional 
If the attribute is empty, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) will edit the property - expressed by a QCode. If the attribute is non-empty, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) has edited the property.
creatoruri IRIType optional 
If the attribute is empty, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) will edit the property - expressed by a URI. If the attribute is non-empty, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) has edited the property.
custom xs:boolean optional 
If set to true the corresponding property was added to the G2 Item for a specific customer or group of customers only. The default value of this property is false which applies when this attribute is not used with the property.
dir restriction of xs:NMTOKEN optional 
The directionality of textual content (enumeration: ltr, rtl)
how QCodeType optional 
Indicates by which means the value was extracted from the content - expressed by a QCode
howuri IRIType optional 
Indicates by which means the value was extracted from the content - expressed by a URI
id xs:ID optional 
The local identifier of the property.
mode QCodeType optional 
An indication whether the elements in the group are complementary and unordered, complementary and ordered or a set of alternative elements - expressed by a QCode
modeuri IRIType optional 
An indication whether the elements in the group are complementary and unordered, complementary and ordered or a set of alternative elements - expressed by a URI
modified DateOptTimeType optional 
The date (and, optionally, the time) when the property was last modified. The initial value is the date (and, optionally, the time) of creation of the property.
pubconstraint QCodeListType optional 
One or many constraints that apply to publishing the value of the property - expressed by a QCode. Each constraint applies to all descendant elements.
pubconstrainturi IRIListType optional 
One or many constraints that apply to publishing the value of the property - expressed by a URI. Each constraint applies to all descendant elements.
role QCodeType optional 
The part this group plays within its container - expressed by a QCode / either the role or the roleuri attribute MUST be used
roleuri IRIType optional 
The part this group plays within its container - expressed by a URI / either the role or the roleuri attribute MUST be used
why QCodeType optional 
Why the metadata has been included - expressed by a QCode
whyuri IRIType optional 
Why the metadata has been included - expressed by a URI
xml:lang union of(xs:language, restriction of xs:string) optional 
Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter
         codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never
         going to be a realistic possibility.  See
         RFC 3066 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt and the IANA registry
         at http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tag-apps.htm for
         further information.

         The union allows for the 'un-declaration' of xml:lang with
         the empty string.
Wildcard: ANY attribute from ANY namespace OTHER than 'http://iptc.org/std/nar/2006-10-01/'
