Attributesatt.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))
valueprovides a pointer to 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.
parentprovides the identifier of parent of a leaf.
Status Optional
Datatype 

<rng:ref name="data.pointer"/>
data.pointer
Values The identifier of the parent node.
followprovides an identifier of an element which this leaf 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 leaf and the element which is the value of the attribute.
