public class RelTermAttribute

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

Attribute qualifiers consist of two parts:

Attr

This is the name of the attribute qualifier. It can be specified in two ways:

• *: Matches any attribute name. For example, the following location term selects the first child of the location source for which the attribute TARGET has a value: child(1,#element,TARGET,*)
• Name: Matches the specified case-insensitive attribute name. For example, the following location term selects the first child with an N attribute having the value 2 is chosen; then that element's first child element having the value 1 for the same attribute is chosen: child(1,#element,N,2).(1,#element,N,1)

Value

This is the value of the attribute qualifier. It can be specified in four ways:

• #IMPLIED: Matches an unspecified, or defaulted, value. For example, the following location term selects the first child of the location source that is an FS element for which the RESP attribute has been left unspecified: child(1,FS,RESP,#IMPLIED)
• *: Matches any value, including defaulted.
• Name: Matches the specified case-insensitive attribute value.
• "Name": Matches the specified case-sensitive attribute value.
