TEI element schemaSpec (schema specification)

<schemaSpec>

<schemaSpec> (schema specification) generates a TEI-conformant schema and documentation for it. [2.3 The Encoding Description 22.2 Modules and Schemas 23.5.1 Making a Unified ODD]

Attributes

att.global (@xml:id, @n, @xml:lang, @xml:base, @xml:space) (att.global.rendition (@rend, @style, @rendition)) (att.global.linking (@corresp, @synch, @sameAs, @copyOf, @next, @prev, @exclude, @select)) (att.global.analytic (@ana)) (att.global.facs (@facs)) (att.global.change (@change)) (att.global.responsibility (@cert, @resp)) (att.global.source (@source)) att.identified (@ident, @predeclare, @module) (att.combinable (@mode) (att.deprecated (@validUntil)) ) att.namespaceable (@ns) att.docStatus (@status)

start start¶

specifies entry points to the schema, i.e. which patterns may be used as the root of documents conforming to it.

Status	Optional
Datatype	1–∞ occurrences of teidata.name separated by whitespace
Default	TEI

prefix prefix¶

specifies a default prefix which will be prepended to all patterns relating to TEI elements, unless otherwise stated.

Status	Optional
Datatype	0–1 occurrences of teidata.xmlName separated by whitespace
Note	Use of this attribute allows an external schema which has an element with the same local name as a TEI element to be mixed in.

targetLang targetLang¶

(target language) specifies which language to use when creating the objects in a schema if names for elements or attributes are available in more than one language

Status	Optional
Datatype	teidata.language

docLang docLang¶

(documentation language) specifies which languages to use when creating documentation if the description for an element, attribute, class or macro is available in more than one language

Status	Optional
Datatype	1–∞ occurrences of teidata.language separated by whitespace

defaultExceptions defaultExceptions¶

(default namespace exclusions) provides a list of namespaces and/or prefixed element names to be excluded by default from anyName in RelaxNG schemas

Status	Recommended
Datatype	1–∞ occurrences of teidata.namespaceOrName separated by whitespace
Default	http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0 teix:egXML
Note	Specifies defaults for the except attribute of anyElement. RelaxNG validation (unless DTD Compatibility Mode is turned off) requires that any elements which may take an xml:id be excluded from the content of `anyName` name classes. For normal TEI purposes, this includes anything in the TEI namespace and the egXML element. The defaultExceptions attribute sets the global defaults for these exclusions. Element prefixes must be declared using a namespace declaration on the parent or an ancestor element.

Note

A schemaSpec combines references to modules, individual element or macro declarations, and specification groups together to form a unified schema. The processing of the schemaSpec element must resolve any conflicts amongst the declarations it contains or references. Different ODD processors may generate schemas and documentation using different concrete syntaxes.

The source may be specified in the form of a private URI, for which the form recommended is tei:x.y.z, where x.y.z indicates the version number, e.g. tei:1.5.1 for 1.5.1 release of TEI P5 or (as a special case) tei:current for whatever is the latest release. The context indicated must provide a set of TEI-conformant specifications in a form directly usable by an ODD processor. By default, this will be the location of the current release of the TEI Guidelines.

Example

This schema combines elements from the current versions of the drama and core modules, the current release version of the header module, and elements from an existing RELAX NG schema available from the URL indicated.
