Slide 29 of 50
In the example on this slide we locally provide a note about the content of the first data element, and declare that note to be of type 'alert'. The effect of labelling a note with a type is not normatively defined, but as an example, a translation tool could use the 'alert' attribute value to ensure that the translator sees the note before completing the translation.
Further on in the example a note is provided for the second data element. This is just an informative note, so no type information has been given. (The default is 'description'.) A translation tool may make the translator aware that there is a note for this piece of content, but leave it up to the translator to decide whether or not they read it.
