<sch:report test="* and @key">child elements of moduleRef are only allowed when an external module
is being loaded
</sch:report></sch:rule>
Example
<moduleRef key="linking"/>

This includes all objects available from the linking module.

Example
<moduleRef key="linking" exclude="linkGrp link"/>

This includes all objects available from the linking module except for the link and linkGrp elements.

Example
<moduleRef key="linking" exclude="linkGrp link"/>

This includes all objects available from the linking module except for the link and linkGrp elements.

Example
<moduleRef key="linking" include="linkGrp link"/>

This includes only the link and linkGrp elements from the linking module.

Note
If neither include nor exclude is supplied, the effect of this element is to make all the declarations contained by the referenced module available to the schema being compiled. If both attributes are supplied, an ODD processor should signal an error.
A TEI module is identified by the name supplied as value for the ident attribute on a moduleSpec element. The source attribute may be used to specify an online source from which the specification of that module may be read. A URI may alternatively be supplied in the case of a non-TEI module, and this is expected to be written as a RELAX NG schema.
