3.1.2 Glossary. These defnitions are for terms found in this standard, are based on those available in ISO 8879, and are repeated here for convenience only. For the full set of formal SGML/XML defnitions, see ISO 8879.
3.1.2.1 Attribute (of an Element). A characteristic quality, other than element_type or content.
3.1.2.2 Attribute Defnition. A member of an attribute defnition list within an attribute list declaration. It declares an attribute name, specifes the form and SGML-specifc aspects of possible values, and specifes the action (such as providing a default value) to be taken if an attribute's value is not specifed. In
the display under ATTRIBUTE (Defnition) LIST DECLARATION, each attribute defnition is shown as:
name_of_attribute allowable_values default.
3.1.2.3 Attribute (Defnition) List Declaration. A markup declaration that associates an attribute defnition list with one or more element types, shown as: <ATTLIST name_of_associated_element(s) name_of_attribute allowable_values default>.
3.1.2.4 Attribute (Specifcation) List. Markup that is a set of one or more attribute specifcations, shown as: attribute=value attribute=value attribute=value. The markup is used within a Start Tag, as in:
<element_name attribute=value attribute=value attribute=value>.
3.1.2.5 Data-Oriented. The SGML document instance used for data referencing, i.e. database. The SGML document instance is used to populate data management system, which is used in various ways as reference information, developing publication, source for EP/IEP, etc.
3.1.2.6 Declaration Subset. A delimited portion of a markup declaration in which other declarations can occur.
3.1.2.7 Document Instance. The instance is the actual document text and its accompanying SGML tags conforming to the specifcations and restrictions set forth in the DTD and stored in an ASCII text format.
3.1.2.8 Document Type Declaration. A markup declaration describes the root element and designates a document type defnition (DTD), shown as:
<!DOCTYPE required_root_element_type required_formal_public_identifier required_system_identifier[optional_document_type_declaration_subset]>
3.1.2.9 Document Type Defnition (DTD). An abstract collection of rules, determined by an application, that apply SGML/XML to the markup of documents of a particular type.
3.1.2.10 Electronic Publication. A electronic page-based representation that provides concise, user-friendly information for instruction, repair, policy or guidance. The EP may interact with other EP or IEP information.
3.1.2.11 Element. A component of the hierarchical structure defned by a document type declaration. It is identifed in a document instance by descriptive markup, usually a start-tag and end-tag, shown as:
<element_type_name attribute=value attribute=value> content of the element </element_type_name>.
3.1.2.12 Element Type Declaration. A markup declaration that contains the formal specifcation of the part of the defnition of an element type that deals with the content and markup minimization, shown as: <!ELEMENT element_name content_model>.
3.1.2.13 Entity. A collection of characters or other data that can be referenced as a unit.
3.1.2.14 Entity Reference. A reference that is replaced by an entity, shown as: &entity_name; or
%entity_name; the ampersand is used for general entities (referenced in the document element); the percent sign is used for parameter entities (typically referenced in the document type defnition.)
3.1.2.15 Entity Set. A set of entity (and comment) declarations that are used together.
3.1.2.16 Extensible Markup Language (XML). Extensible Markup Language, as specifed in
