Attributes (In addition to global attributes)
group indicates the group (term and related elements) to which this element should be associated by specifying a string matching the n attribute value on an appropriate element.
Datatype: CDATA
Values: any string matching the n attribute value on the <term> element to which the group is attached.
Default: #IMPLIED
Example:

Note

The group attribute provides a specialized pointing mechanism for use within <termEntry> elements.

grpPtr indicates the group (term and related elements) to which this element should be associated by specifying its unique identifier, where this is available.
Datatype: IDREF
Values: the value specified must match a value supplied as the value for an id attribute on some <term> element in the current document.
Default: #IMPLIED
Example:

Note

The group attribute provides a specialized pointing mechanism for use within <termEntry> elements.

depend indicates the parent element to which this element should be associated by specifying a string matching the n attribute value on an appropriate element.
Datatype: CDATA
Values: any string matching the n attribute value on the element to which the dependent element is attached.
Default: #IMPLIED
Example:

depPtr indicates the parent element to which this element should be associated by specifying its unique identifier, where this is available.
Datatype: IDREF
Values: the value specified must match a value supplied as the value for an id attribute on some <term> element in the current SGML or XML document.
Default: #IMPLIED
Example:

Note

The attributes shared by this element class are used for linking elements, possibly not adjacent in the record, which are related (e.g. a grammatical annotation and the term it describes). If no attribute is specified, the element is assumed to relate to the most recently specified <term> or <otherForm> element.
