Note
In ODD documentation processing, a specGrpRef usually produces a comment indicating that a set of declarations printed in another section will be inserted at this point in the specGrp being discussed. In schema processing, the contents of the specified specGrp are made available for inclusion in the generated schema.
The specification group identified by the target attribute will normally be part of the current ODD document.
