Note
Cet élément n’est utilisé que pour encoder des associations ; il n’est pas préconisé pour d’autres éléments plus spécifiques.
L’emplacement de cet élément dans un document n'a aucune signification, à moins qu'il ne soit inclus dans un élément linkGrp ; dans ce cas il peut hériter de la valeur donnée à l’attribut type de l’élément linkGrp .
