<dataRef>

<dataRef> identifies the datatype of an attribute value, either by referencing an item in an externally defined datatype library, or by pointing to a TEI-defined data specification [23.5.3.1 Datatypes]
Module tagdocs — Documentation Elements
Attributes
key⚓︎ the identifier used for this datatype specification
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.xmlName
name⚓︎ the name of a datatype in the list provided by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.xmlName
ref⚓︎ a pointer to a datatype defined in some datatype library
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.pointer
restriction⚓︎ supplies a string representing a regular expression providing additional constraints on the strings used to represent values of this datatype
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.pattern
Member of

Contained by
tagdocs: alternate content datatype schemaSpec sequence specGrp
May contain
tagdocs: dataFacet
Note

Only one of the attributes key, name, and ref may be used on any given instance of dataRef.

Neither a restriction attribute nor a dataFacet child element may be used unless the dataRef refers to a datatype from the specification XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition with a name attribute.
Example
<schemaSpec ident="myTEI"
 source="http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/P5/current/xml/tei/odd/p5subset.xml">
<!-- ... -->
 <dataRef key="teidata.enumerated"/>

Example
<schemaSpec ident="myTEI"
