Attlist show These attributes are used in metadata to propose visible representations of the metadata itself. Both a full visualization (attribute showAs) and an abbreviated one (attribute shortForm) can be specified Attlist src These attributes are used in manifestation-level references to specify external manifestation-level resources to be loaded in place. The src attribute holds the manifestation-level IRI of the resource, while the alt attribute holds the text to be displayed in case the loading of the external resource is not possible for any reason. Attlist period The period attribute is used in versioned content and metadata elements to indicate a time interval in which they were in force, in efficacy, or in any other type of interval as specified in the corresponding temporalGroup. Attlist enactment These attributes are those already defined in attribute list "period", plus the attribute status, that allows to specify the status of the piece of text it wraps. Attlist notes These attributes are used by notes, both authorial and editorial.

Attlist idreq These attributes identify the element in an absolute manner. In elements using this attribute definition the eId attribute is required whenever the Akoma Ntoso naming Convention is used. The wId is used to mark the identifier that the structure used to have in the original version, and is only needed when a renumbering occurred. Attlist idopt These attributes identify the element in an absolute manner. In elements using this attribute definition the eId attribute is optional. The wId is used to mark the identifier that the structure used to have in the original version, and is only needed when a renumbering occurred. Attlist refersreq This attribute creates a connection between the element and an element of the Akoma Ntoso ontology to which it refers. In elements using this attribute definition the refersTo attribute is required Attlist refers This attribute creates a connection between the element and an element of the Akoma Ntoso ontology to which it refers. In elements using this attribute definition the refersTo attribute is optional Attlist xmllang These attribute specify the human language in which the content of the element is expressed as well as the rules for whitespace management in the element.

In elements using this attribute definition the refersTo attribute is optional but the eId attribute is required Attlist corereqreq This is the list of the core attributes that all elements in the content part of the document must have. In elements using this attribute definition both the refersTo attribute and the eId attribute are required Attlist coreopt This is the list of the core attributes that all elements in the content part of the document must have. In elements using this attribute definition both the refersTo attribute and the eId attribute are optional ===================================================================== Simple types (data values) ===================================================================== Simple noWhiteSpace These values are those of ids such as eId, wId and GUID as a collection of any printable character except whitespaces.

Values are taken from the RFC 4646. Simple versionType This is the list of allowed values for the contains attribute Simple placementType This is the list of allowed values for the placement attribute of notes Simple statusType This is the list of allowed values for the status attribute. This is the list of possible reasons for a dscrepancy between the manifestation as it should be (e.g., a faithful representation of the content of an expression), and the manifestation as it actually is. Values should be interpreted as follows: - removed: the content of the element is present in the markup (manifestation) but is not present in the real content of the document (expression level) because it has been definitely removed (either ex tunc, as in annullments, or ex nunc, as in abrogations). - temporarily removed: the content of the element is present in the markup (manifestation) but is not present in the real content of the document (expression level) because it has been temporarily removed (e.g., for a temporary suspension or limitation of efficacy). - translated: the content of the element is present in the markup (manifestation) in a different form than in the real content of the document (expression level) because it has been translated into a different language (e.g., to match the rest of the document or because of other editorial decisions). - editorial: the content of the element is present in the markup (manifestation) but is not present in the real content of the document (expression level) because it has been inserted as an editorial process when creating the XML markup. - edited: the content of the element is different in the markup (manifestation) than in the real content of the document (expression level) because it has been amended (e.g., to remove scurrilous or offensive remarks). - verbatim: the content of the element is present in the markup (manifestation) is EXACTLY as it was in the real content of the document (expression level) because usual silent fixes and edits were NOT performed (e.g. to punctuation, grammatical errors or other usually non-debatable problems). - incomplete: the content of the element or the value of a required attribute is NOT present in the markup (manifestation), although it should, because the missing data is not known at the moment, but in the future it might become known. This is especially appropriate for documents in drafting phase (e.g., the publication date of the act while drafting the bill) - unknown: the content of the element or the value of a required attribute is NOT present in the markup (manifestation), although it should, because the author of the manifestation does not know it. - undefined: the content of the element or the value of a required attribute is NOT present in the markup (manifestation), because the information is not defined in the original document, or it doesn't exist in some legal tradition (e.g. an anonymous speech cannot specify the attribute by, or some publications do not record the numbering of the items, etc.) - ignored: the content of the element or the value of a required attribute is NOT present in the markup (manifestation) because the information exists but the author of the manifestation is not interested in reporting it (e.g., omitted parts of the document due to editorial reasons, etc.) Simple posType This is the list of possible positions of the text being analyzed by the element in the analysis section ===================================================================== Complex types (markup structures) ===================================================================== Complex basehierarchy The complex type basehierarchy is not used by any element, but is derived by other types to contain the basic structure of hierarchical elements Complex hierarchy The complex type hierarchy is used by most or all the hierarchical elements of act-like documents.

Besides named elements, the schema also provides for a generic element for each of them, that can be used for markup that fits the content models but can be specified by a precise name that is not used in this schema. The 'name' attribute must be used for naming the element. It is also a characteristic of this schema that all named elements are equivalent, and can be substituted to, the corresponding generic element with their name as the value of the name attribute. Thus, by definition, <p> = <block name="p"> , <part> = <hcontainer name="part"> , <act> = <container name="act"> , etc. Pattern: Generic Document + Role Attribute Reference: http://www.xmlpatterns.com/GenericDocumentMain.shtml + http://www.xmlpatterns.com/RoleAttributeMain.shtml ===================================================================== Element hcontainer the element hcontainer is a generic element for a hierarchical container.
