classSpec

<classSpec>

<classSpec> (class specification) contains reference information for a TEI element class; that is a group of elements which appear together in content models, or which share some common attribute, or both.

Module

tagdocs — 22 Documentation Elements

Attributes

[att.identified ]

type

indicates whether this is a model class or an attribute class

Status

Required

Legal values are:

model	(content model) members of this class appear in the same content models
atts	(attributes) members of this class share common attributes

generate

indicates which alternation and sequence instantiations of a model class may be referenced. By default, all variations are permitted.

Status

Optional

Datatype

1–5 occurrences of

<rng:ref name="data.enumerated"/>

data.enumerated

separated by whitespace

Legal values are:

alternation	members of the class are alternatives
sequence	members of the class are to be provided in sequence
sequenceOptional	members of the class may be provided, in sequence, but are optional
sequenceOptionalRepeatable	members of the class may be provided one or more times, in sequence, but are optional.
sequenceRepeatable	members of the class may be provided one or more times, in sequence

Example

<classSpec module="tei" type="model" ident="model.segLike">
<desc>groups elements used for arbitrary segmentation. </desc>
<classes>
  <memberOf key="model.phrase"/>
</classes>
<remarks>
  <p>The principles on which segmentation is carried out, and
     any special codes or attribute values used, should be defined explicitly
     in the <gi>segmentation</gi> element of the <gi>encodingDesc</gi> within
     the associated TEI header.</p>
