TEI element iNode (intermediate (or internal) node)

<iNode>

<iNode> (intermediate (or internal) node) represents an intermediate (or internal) node of a tree. [19.2 Trees]

Module

nets — 19 Graphs, Networks, and Trees

Attributes

att.global (@xml:id, @n, @xml:lang, @rend, @rendition, @xml:base, @xml:space) (att.global.linking (@corresp, @synch, @sameAs, @copyOf, @next, @prev, @exclude, @select)) (att.global.analytic (@ana)) (att.global.facs (@facs)) (att.global.change (@change))

value

provides the value of an intermediate node, which is a feature structure or other analytic element.

Status	Optional
Datatype	<rng:ref name="data.pointer"/> data.pointer
Values	A valid identifier of a feature structure or other analytic element.

children

provides a list of identifiers of the elements which are the children of the intermediate node.

Status	Required
Datatype	1–∞ occurrences of <rng:ref name="data.pointer"/> data.pointer separated by whitespace
Values	A list of identifiers.

parent

provides the identifier of the element which is the parent of this node.

Status	Optional
Datatype	<rng:ref name="data.pointer"/> data.pointer
Values	The identifier of the parent node.

ord

(ordered) indicates whether or not the internal node is ordered.

Status	Optional
Datatype	<rng:ref name="data.xTruthValue"/> data.xTruthValue
Note	The value true indicates that the children of the intermediate node are ordered, whereas false indicates the are unordered. Use if and only if ord is specified as partial on the tree element and the intermediate node has more than one child.

provides an identifier of the element which this node follows.

Status	Optional
Datatype	<rng:ref name="data.pointer"/> data.pointer
Values	The identifier of another intermediate node or leaf of the tree.
Note	If the tree is unordered or partially ordered, this attribute has the property of fixing the relative order of the intermediate node and the element which is the value of the attribute.

outDegree

gives the out degree of an intermediate node, the number of its children.

Status	Optional
Datatype	<rng:ref name="data.count"/> data.count
Values	A nonnegative integer.
Note	The in degree of an intermediate node is always 1.
