<prefixDef>

<prefixDef> (prefixing scheme used in data.pointer values) defines a prefixing scheme used in data.pointer values, showing how abbreviated URIs using the scheme may be expanded into full URIs. [16.2.3 Using Abbreviated Pointers]

identsupplies the identifier which functions as the prefix for an abbreviated pointing scheme such as a private URI scheme. The prefix constitutes the text preceding the first colon.

Example
<prefixDef
  ident="ref"
  matchPattern="([a-z]+)"
  replacementPattern="../../references/references.xml#$1">
 <p> In the context of this project, private URIs with
   the prefix "ref" point to <gi>div</gi> elements in
   the project's global references.xml file.
 </p>
</prefixDef>
Note

Where matchPattern and replacementPattern are both supplied, the abbreviated pointer may be dereferenced to produce either an absolute or a relative URI reference. In the latter case it is combined with the value of xml:base in force at the place where the cRef attribute occurs to form an absolute URI in the usual manner as prescribed by XML Base.
