application

From XPointer Framework (2003-03-25)

A software component that incorporates or uses an XPointer processor because it needs to access XML subresources. The occurrence and usage of XPointers, and the behavior to be applied to resources and subresources obtained by processing those XPointers, are governed by the definition of each application's corresponding data format (which could be XML-based or non-XML-based). For example, HTML Web browsers and XInclude processors are applications that might use XPointer processors.

dTD-determined ID

From XPointer Framework (2003-03-25)

An attribute information item is a DTD-determined ID if and only if it has a [type definition] property whose value is equal to ID.

error

From XPointer Framework (2003-03-25)

A violation of the syntactic rules of this specification, or the failure of a pointer to identify subresources.

externally-determined ID

From XPointer Framework (2003-03-25)

internationalized resource identifier

From XPointer Framework (2003-03-25)

A specialized pointer data format that has a name and is defined in a specification.
