Ordered by Function High-level ODD Structures schemaSpecThe element that contains the formal schema specifications within the ODD file. All the schema customization elements listed below are children of schemaSpec. identUsed on schemaSpec indicates the name of the schema that will be created; required by roma. (urbe requires that it match the filename, too.) moduleRefA reference to a TEI module (i.e. a grouping of elements representing a single chapter of the TEI Guidelines), by which the module is included in the custom schema. keyUsed on moduleRef, gives the short name of the module to be included exceptUsed on moduleRef, lists which elements from the module which should not be included includeUsed on moduleRef, lists which elements from the module should be included (thus excluding all others) modeUsed on almost all ODD elements, indicates the nature of the change being made in relation to unmodified TEI: add indicates that the feature in question originates with the customization and is additional to the unmodified TEI schema delete indicates that the feature in question is being deleted from the custom schema change indicates that the feature in question is being changed in some detail, and that the changed portion should override the corresponding portion of the unmodified TEI schema, leaving other portions unchanged replace indicates that the feature in question is being completely changed, and that the portion designated in the custom schema should entirely replace the specification for that feature in the unmodified TEI Element Management elementRefA reference to a TEI element, by which the element is included in the custom schema. This element is used to include elements from modules that have not been explicitly included with moduleRef. keyUsed on elementRef, indicates the element being included. elementSpecA specification of a single element in the schema, which can be used to delete an element from an included module (with mode="delete") or to modify some aspect of the element's definition (with mode="change" or mode="replace"). moduleUsed with elementSpec, indicates the module in which the element in question is defined. identUsed with elementSpec, indicates the name of the element in question altIdentUsed inside elementSpec to change the name of an element; indicates the new name by which the element being specified will be known in the custom schema contentContains the content model for an element (expressed in RELAX NG, XML syntax) classesUsed within elementSpec (or classSpec) to change the class membership of the element (or class). Contains one or more memberOf elements which, by means of their key attributes, indicate the specific classes to which the element (or class) is being added or from which it is being deleted. memberOfDesignates a specific model class to which an element is being added, or from which it is being deleted. keyUsed on memberOf, contains the name of the class being designated. modeUsed on memberOf, with value add, indicates that the element is being added to the class designated by the memberOf element. Attribute Management attListA list of attribute definitions; used to contain the attDef elements that are used to add, delete, or modify the attributes for an element. attDefUsed to designate an attribute that is being added, deleted, or modified. identUsed on attDef, indicates the name of the attribute in question. valListA list of values for an attribute (used to add or alter a set of constrained values). valItemA single value in a value list for an attribute. datatypeContains a reference to a TEI datatype, used when constraining the contents of an element or attribute value. Schema Documentation and Management glossUsed inside elementSpec, attDef, and valItem to provide the full natural-language equivalent of the name (i.e. ident) of the construct. E.g., the gloss for elementSpec ident="att" is attribute (as opposed to attention) descUsed inside elementSpec, attDef, and valItem to document the new or altered element, attribute, or attribute value. classSpecA specification of a TEI class (either a model class or an attribute class), which can be used to change the membership of an attribute class macroSpecA specification of a TEI datatype or other chunk of arbitrary RELAX NG code
