targetLangspecifies the language of the content to be found at the destination referenced by target, using a ‘language tag’ generated according to BCP 47.
Status Optional
Datatype

Values The value must conform to BCP 47. If the value is a private use code (i.e., starts with x- or contains -x-), a language element with a matching value for its ident attribute should be supplied in the TEI header to document this value. Such documentation may also optionally be supplied for non-private-use codes, though these must remain consistent with their (IETF)Internet Engineering Task Force definitions.

In the example above, the linkGrp combines pointers at parallel fragments of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: one of them is in Polish, the other in Swahili.

targetspecifies the destination of the reference by supplying one or more URI References
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of 

<rng:ref name="data.pointer"/>
data.pointer
separated by whitespace
Values One or more syntactically valid URI references, separated by whitespace. Because whitespace is used to separate URIs, no whitespace is permitted inside a single URI. If a whitespace character is required in a URI, it should be escaped with the normal mechanism, e.g. TEI%20Consortium.
evaluatespecifies the intended meaning when the target of a pointer is itself a pointer.
Status Optional
Datatype 

<rng:ref name="data.enumerated"/>
data.enumerated
Legal values are:
all
if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then the target of that pointer will be taken, and so on, until an element is found which is not a pointer.
one
if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then its target (whether a pointer or not) is taken as the target of this pointer.
none
no further evaluation of targets is carried out beyond that needed to find the element specified in the pointer's target.
Note

If no value is given, the application program is responsible for deciding (possibly on the basis of user input) how far to trace a chain of pointers.
