construction declaration

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A construction declaration sets the construction mode in the static context, overriding any implementation-defined default.
construction mode.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

Construction mode. The construction mode governs the behavior of element and document node constructors. If construction mode is preserve, the type of a constructed element node is xs:anyType, and all attribute and element nodes copied during node construction retain their original types. If construction mode is strip, the type of a constructed element node is xs:untyped; all element nodes copied during node construction receive the type xs:untyped, and all attribute nodes copied during node construction receive the type xs:untypedAtomic.
constructor function

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

The constructor function for a given type is used to convert instances of other atomic types into the given type. The semantics of the constructor function call T($arg) are defined to be equivalent to the expression (($arg) cast as T?).
constructor function

From XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

The constructor function for a given type is used to convert instances of other atomic types into the given type. The semantics of the constructor function call T($arg) are defined to be equivalent to the expression (($arg) cast as T?).
contained (element A is contained ined

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source

A is part of B's content.
container (Constructor)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source

A non-empty MathML Content element that is used to construct a mathematical object such as a number, set, or list.
containing document

From XForms 1.0 (2003-10-14) | Glossary for this source

A specific document, for example an XHTML document, in which one or more <model> elements are found.

content

From Glossary of Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 CSS2 Specification (1998-05-12) | Glossary for this source

The content associated with an element in the source document; not all elements have content in which case they are called empty. The content of an element may include text, and it may include a number of sub-elements, in which case the element is called the parent of those sub-elements.
content

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

The text between the start-tag and end-tag is called the element's content:
content

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

In this specification, the noun "content" is used in three ways: It is used to mean the document object as a whole or in parts.It is used to mean the content of an HTML or XML element, in the sense employed by the XML 1.0 specification ([XML], section 3.1): "The text between the start-tag and end-tag is called the element's content." Context should indicate that the term content is being used in this sense.It is used in the terms non-text content and text content.Empty content (which may be conditional content) is either a null value or an empty string (i.e., one that is zero characters long). For instance, in HTML, alt="" sets the value of the alt attribute to the empty string. In some markup languages, an element may have empty content (e.g., the HR element in HTML).
content

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (2000-10-06) | Glossary for this source

The text between the start-tag and end-tag is called the element's content:
content developer

From Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (1999-05-05) | Glossary for this source

Someone who authors Web pages or designs Web sites.
content elements

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source

MathML elements that explicitly specify the mathematical meaning of a portion of a MathML expression (defined in Chapter 4 [Content Markup]).
content expression

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

The final part of a computed constructor is an expression enclosed in braces, called the content expression of the constructor, that generates the content of the node.
content generation

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15) | Glossary for this source

For the purpose of this specification, "content generation" refers to generating content appropriate to the user agent profile of the request by using the user agent profile as input to a dynamic content generation engine. The XSL and style sheets of the document are used to tailor the document to the user agent profile of the request.
content model

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

In this case, the constraint includes a content model, a simple grammar governing the allowed types of the child elements and the order in which they are allowed to appear.
content model

From Modularization of XHTML (2001-04-10) | Glossary for this source

the declared markup structure allowed within instances of an element type. XML 1.0 differentiates two types: elements containing only element content (no character data) and mixed content (elements that may contain character data optionally interspersed with child elements). The latter are characterized by a content specification beginning with the "#PCDATA" string (denoting character data).
content negotiation

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15) | Glossary for this source

The mechanism for selecting the appropriate representation when servicing a request. The representation of entities in any response can be negotiated (including error responses).
content negotiation

From Glossary of Terms for Device Independence (2005-01-18) | Glossary for this source

The mechanism for selecting the appropriate HTTP representation when servicing a request. The HTTP representation of entities in any response can be negotiated (including error responses).
This term was developed from that in Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1.
content negotiation

From Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 (1999-06-15) | Glossary for this source

The mechanism for selecting the appropriate representation when servicing a request, as described in section 12. The representation of entities in any response can be negotiated (including error responses).
