Description

The uri element identifies a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in content.

  • xmlnamespace for an XML namespace name, e.g., http://docbook.org/ns/docbook.

  • saxfeaturename for a SAX feature name, e.g., http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces.

  • saxpropertyname for a SAX property name, e.g. http://xml.org/sax/properties/declaration-handler.

  • soapaction for a SOAP action, see SOAP Version 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts.

  • rddlpurpose for a RDDL purpose, see Resource Directory Description Language (RDDL).

  • rddlnature for a RDDL nature, see Resource Directory Description Language (RDDL).

  • homepage for a home page, e.g. http://nwalsh.com/.

  • weblog for a web log, e.g., http://norman.walsh.name/.

  • webpage for a web page, e.g., http://docbook.org/schemas/.
