Attributes

In addition to global attributes

minOccurs

Status	Optional
Datatype	<rng:ref name="data.count"/> data.count

maxOccurs

(maximum number of occurences) indicates the maximum number of times this datatype may occur in the specification of the attribute being defined

Status	Optional
Datatype	<rng:choice> <rng:ref name="data.count"/> <rng:value>unbounded</rng:value> </rng:choice> data.count \| "unbounded"

Example

Example

Example

The encoding in the following example requires that the attribute being defined contain at least two URIs in its value, as is the case for the targets attribute of join.

Note

In the TEI scheme, most datatypes are expressed using pre-defined TEI macros, which map a name in the form data.xxxx to a RelaxNG or WSD defined datatype.
