Document element

Element schematron-output The root element of the svrl format The optional title attribute is derived from iso:schema/iso:title element. The optional phase attribute is apparently unused? @FIXME The schemaVersion attribute is derived from the iso:schema/@schemaVersion attribute

Element ns-prefix-in-attribute-values Provides the output file with ready access to foreign namespaces defined in the Schematron schema. Derived from the iso:ns element in Schematron. The attribute prefix provides the ns prefix, the uri provides the namespace.

Element active-pattern Reports on which patterns are active in this phase. Derived from the iso:active/@pattern attribute in the Schematron schema. Both the name and id values appear to be derived from the pattern attribute. It would appear that the role attribute is unused @FIXME 2007-01-27T10:54:45Z. Added foreign-nodes reference.

Element fired-rule Each time a rule is fired it is reported by a line in the output file, reporting the context in which the rule fired. the context attribute is derived from iso:rule/@context. the id, role and flag attributes require generation by the schema author, by means of template overrides. @FIXME

Element diagnostic-reference Reports the dignostic used, by means of the diagnostic attribute of this element. The value is derived from the diagnostics attribute on iso:assert and iso:report.

Element failed-assert Reports on an assertion that has failed. The test attribute reports the test undertaken. If set to operate, the location attribute reports the source document location and the contained text reports the assertion message. Diagnostics may be included if referenced from the iso:assert element by the diagnostics attribute.

Element successful-report Reports on an assertion that has passed. The test attribute reports the test undertaken. If set to operate, the location attribute reports the source document location and the contained text reports the assertion message. Diagnostics may be included if referenced from the iso:assert element by the diagnostics attribute.

Element text Basic paragraph. to help with documentation. Styling can be aided with the class attribute and the icon attribute. It may contain foreign elements.

Element text Valid within schematron-output, diagnostic-reference, failed-assert and successful-report. The text element is used as the general purpose text container for report contents.

Element dir ltr rtl

Element name Provides access to nodes in the input document. If the optional path attribute is used, then the name of this node is retrieved. Without the path attribute, the name of the current context node is retrieved.

Element emph A general purpose emphasis element

Element span A general purpose inline element, as per html, usage clarified by the class attribute

Element attlist.assert-and-report This group of optional attributes provide additional information about a report entry. The id attribute may be generated for linking purposes and is generally copied over from the associate Schematron assertion. The location attribute identifies the xpath to the input document at which the report was fired. the test attribute reports the assertion test attribute contents. The role attribute is generated by an author, in addition to generic report content. It can help in styling output. The flag attribute is added to the reported assertion, being copied over from the iso:assert or iso:report. Although valid on iso:rule, this appears not to be used. @FIXME

Element 'foreign-nodes' An element with attributes not in the Schematron namespace and not in the null namespace

Element 'foreign' An element not in the Schematron namespace

Element anything Any element in any namespace (including svrl ns or null namespace)

An empty element with foreign attributes An element not in the Schematron namespace which is empty and may contain attributes

Foreign attributes attributes of elements in a namespace other than the Schematron namespace.

Rich. A set of optional attributes which may be used to decorate some elements preserve default

linkable attribute Optional attributes (role and subject). If the subject is present, the role attribute labels the arc between the context node and any nodes which match the subject value (an xpath expression).

Datatype roleValue The role attribute allows you to label the subject and subject nodes of assertions with simple labels. You could also see it as labelling the arcs between context subject and the arc subjects. For example, if generating RDF: see xml-dev archive For example, imagine you had a document containing gene sequences. You could use the role attribute to label the junk DNA parts. So the role could be what role the subject plays in the document, but is could be what role the subject plays in the pattern, or what role the rule plays in the pattern. The role attribute is used, therefore, like a kind of type binding, but instead of binding the node to a type name, it is bound to (one or more) arbitrary names.

Datatype uriValue A URI, used as the value of an attribute to specify, for example, an inclusion, an icon file, or simply a namespace URI

Datatype pathValue An xpath expression returning a node value or name (dependent on context)

Datatype fpiValue A formal public identifier for containing element (schema, assert, report etc)

Datatype exprValue An xpath expression returning a boolean value. See assert and report which both use the test attribute.

Datatype langValue The value assigned to an xml:lang attribute. Normally used to identify the language used in the containing element and its children.
