Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
ana restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
(analysis) indicates one or more elements containing interpretations of
the element on which the ana attribute appears.
assertedValue restriction of xs:token optional 
provides an alternative value for the aspect of the markup in
question—an alternative generic identifier, transcription, or attribute value, or the
identifier of an anchor element (to indicate an alternative starting or ending
location). If an assertedValue is given, the confidence level specified by degree
applies to the alternative markup specified by assertedValue; if none is given, it
applies to the markup in the text.
cert restriction of xs:token optional 
(certainty) signifies the degree of certainty associated with the object
pointed to by the certainty element.
change restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
points to one or more change elements documenting a state or revision
campaign to which the element bearing this attribute and its children have been assigned
by the encoder.
copyOf xs:anyURI optional 
points to an element of which the current element is a
copy.
corresp restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
(corresponds) points to elements that correspond to the current element in
some way.
degree xs:double optional 
indicates the degree of confidence assigned to the aspect of the markup
named by the locus attribute.
exclude restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
points to elements that are in exclusive alternation with the current
element.
facs restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
(facsimile) points to all or part of an image which corresponds with the
content of the element.
given restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
indicates one or more element(s) characterizing the conditions which are
assumed in the assignment of a degree of confidenceconditions assumed in the assignment
of a degree of confidence.
locus restriction of xs:token required 
indicates more exactly the aspect concerning which certainty is being
expressed: specifically, whether the markup is correctly located, whether the correct
element or attribute name has been used, or whether the content of the element or
attribute is correct, etc.
match optional 
supplies an arbitrary XPath expression using the syntax defined in which
identifies a set of nodes, selected within the context identified by the target attribute
if this is supplied, or within the context of the parent element if it is
not.
n xs:string optional 
(number) gives a number (or other label) for an element, which is not
necessarily unique within the document.
next xs:anyURI optional 
points to the next element of a virtual aggregate of which the current
element is part.
prev xs:anyURI optional 
(previous) points to the previous element of a virtual aggregate of which
the current element is part.
rend restriction of list of restriction of xs:token optional 
(rendition) indicates how the element in question was rendered or
presented in the source text.
rendition restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
points to a description of the rendering or presentation used for this
element in the source text.
resp restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
(responsible party) indicates the agency responsible for the intervention
or interpretation, for example an editor or transcriber.
sameAs xs:anyURI optional 
points to an element that is the same as the current
element.
select restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
selects one or more alternants; if one alternant is selected, the
ambiguity or uncertainty is marked as resolved. If more than one alternant is selected,
the degree of ambiguity or uncertainty is marked as reduced by the number of alternants
not selected.
style xs:string optional 
contains an expression in some formal style definition language which
defines the rendering or presentation used for this element in the source
text
synch restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
(synchronous) points to elements that are synchronous with the current
element.
target restriction of list of xs:anyURI optional 
points at one or several elements or sets of elements by means of one or
more data pointers, using the URI syntax.
xml:base xs:anyURI optional 
provides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative URI references into absolute URI references.
xml:id xs:ID optional 
(identifier) provides a unique identifier for the element bearing the attribute.
xml:lang union of(xs:language, restriction of xs:token) optional 
(language) indicates the language of the element content using a tag generated according to BCP 47.
xml:space restriction of xs:token optional 
signals an intention about how white space should be managed by applications.
