schemaSpec

<schemaSpec>

<schemaSpec> (schema specification) generates a TEI-conformant schema and documentation for it.

Module

Attributes

start

specifies entry points to the schema, i.e. which elements are allowed to be used as the root of documents conforming to it.

Status	Optional
Datatype	1–∞ occurrences of <rng:ref name="data.name"/> data.name separated by whitespace

(namespace) specifies the default namespace (if any) applicable to components of the schema.

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

prefix

specifies a prefix which will be appended to all patterns relating to TEI elements. This allows for external schemas to be mixed in which have elements of the same names as the TEI.

Status	Optional
Datatype	<rng:ref name="data.name"/> data.name
Note	Colons, although permitted inside the value, will cause in invalid schema to be generated.

targetLang

(target language) Where names for element or attribute are available in more than one language, specifies which language to use when creating the objects in a schema.

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

docLang

(documentation language) Where the descrition for an element, attribute, class or macro is available in more than one language, specifies which languages to use when creating documentation.

Status	Optional
Datatype	1–∞ occurrences of <rng:ref name="data.language"/> data.language separated by whitespace

Note

A schema combines references to modules or specification groups with other atomic declarations. The processing of a schema element must resolve any conflicts amongst the declarations it contains or references. Different ODD processors may generate schemas and documentation using different concrete syntaxes.
