order of first appearance

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

There is an ordering among groups referred to as the order of first appearance. A group G is defined to precede a group H in order of first appearance if the initial item of G precedes the initial item of H in population order. If two groups G and H have the same initial item (because the item is in both groups) then G precedes H if the grouping key of G precedes the grouping key of H in the sequence that results from evaluating the group-by expression of this initial item.
ordering mode declaration

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

An ordering mode declaration sets the ordering mode in the static context, overriding any implementation-defined default.

origin server

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

Software that can respond to requests by delivering appropriate content or error messages. The origin server may receive requests via either WSP or HTTP. Application programs executing on the origin server deliver content that is tailored in accordance with the CC/PP that can be found within the provided Profile. For the purpose of this specification, "origin server" refers to content generation capabilities, which may physically exist in a stand-alone Web server or may be co-located with a proxy or gateway.

other

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source

The behavior of an application traversing to the ending resource is unconstrained by this specification. The application should look for other markup present in the link to determine the appropriate behavior.

From XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes (2001-05-02) | Glossary for this source

output definition

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

All the xsl:output declarations in a stylesheet that share the same name are grouped into a named output definition; those that have no name are grouped into a single unnamed output definition.
output modalities

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

This document does not include requirements for braille rendering. Some requirements are specific to graphical rendering and others specific to audio output or synthesized speech output. Speech rendering requirements are made by checkpoint 4.9 to checkpoint 4.13. Many of the requirements of this document are generic enough to apply to a variety of output modalities, including braille. User agents conform to this document by supporting some combination of graphical and audio/speech rendering output; see the section on Content type labels for more information.
output states

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

Each instruction in the stylesheet is evaluated in one of two possible output states: final output state or temporary output state
override

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

In this document, the term "override" means that one configuration or behavior preference prevails over another. Generally, the requirements of this document involve user preferences prevailing over author preferences and user agent default settings and behaviors.
