Note

In the TEI scheme, most datatypes are expressed using pre-defined TEI macros, which map a name in the form teidata.xxxx to a datatype defined by RELAX NG or the W3C Schema Language.

Example
<datatype>
 <dataRef name="token"/>
</datatype>
Example
<datatype>
 <dataRef key="teidata.enumerated"/>
</datatype>
Example

The encoding in the following example requires that the attribute being defined contain at least two URIs in its value, as is the case for the target attribute of join.

<datatype minOccurs="2"
 maxOccurs="unbounded">
 <dataRef key="teidata.pointer"/>
</datatype>
