<fsDecl>


<fsDecl> (feature structure declaration) declares one type of feature structure.
Attributes (In addition to global attributes)
type gives a name for the type of feature structure being declared.
Datatype: CDATA
Values: any convenient string of characters.
Default: #REQUIRED
Example:

baseType gives the name of the feature structure type from which this type inherits features and constraints; if this type declares a feature with the same name as a feature of the base type, the definition within this <fsDecl> overrides the inherited definition. The <fsConstraints> are inherited only if this <fsDecl> does not specify any; otherwise the constraints in this <fsDecl> override. When no baseType is specified, no features or constraints are inherited.
Datatype: CDATA
Values: any convenient string for use as a name.
Default: #IMPLIED
Example:
