Attributes:

Datatype: (none|partial|complete|inapplicable)
Legal values:
none no interaction of any kind, e.g. a monologue
partial some degree of interaction, e.g. a monologue with set responses
complete complete interaction, e.g. a face to face conversation
inapplicable this parameter is inappropriate or inapplicable in this case
Default: #IMPLIED
active specifies the number of active participants (or addressors) producing parts of the text.
Datatype: CDATA

corporate a corporate addressor
unknown number of addressors unknown or unspecifiable

passive specifies the number of passive participants (or addressees) to whom a text is directed or in whose presence it is created or performed.
Datatype: CDATA
Legal values:
self text is addressed to the originator e.g. a diary
single text is addressed to one other person e.g. a personal letter
many text is addressed to a countable number of others e.g. a conversation in which all participants are identified
group text is addressed to an undefined but fixed number of participants e.g. a lecture
world text is addressed to an undefined and indeterminately large number e.g. a published book
