Model definitions

BasicSection¶

class models/sections/BasicSection.lml

Group of blocks within text, which is a leaf node in the hierarchical organisation of text (does not contain any sections of its own).

Attribute	Type	Cardinality	Definition
`+title`	TextElement	0..*	Title of the section.
`+id`	`String`	0..1	Identifier for the section, to be used for cross-references within the document. (Citations of references are modelled as cross-references to the corresponding bibliographical item in the References section.)
`+language`	Iso639Code	0..*	Language tags for the section, coded as ISO 639 codes.
`+script`	Iso15924Code	0..*	Script tags for the section, coded as ISO 15924 codes.
`+blocks`	BasicBlock	0..*	Blocks, containing the textual content of the section (but excluding subsections, which are only present in Hierarchical Sections).
`+attributes`	Attribute	0..*	Entries from the generic attribute register: an open key-value set that markup languages bind their own attribute types into.

HierarchicalSection¶

class models/sections/HierarchicalSection.lml

Sections: groups of blocks within text, which can also contain other sections.

Attribute	Type	Cardinality	Definition
`+subsections`	HierarchicalSection	0..*	Sections contained within the current section. The relation is recursive, so the hierarchical arrangement of sections can be arbitrarily deep.

ContentSection¶

class models/sections/ContentSection.lml

Prefatory sections of text, outside the main flow of text. In the BasicDocument model these are treated as equivalent to Hierarchical Sections. (The distinction is currently reserved for downstream models such as Metanorma, which differentiates structurally between prefatory sections and sections in the main body of the text; differences between the two may be introduced in the Basic Document model at a later date.)

ReferencesSection¶

class models/sections/ReferencesSection.lml

Sections containing zero or more bibliographical items (as described in Relaton), along with any prefatory text.

Attribute	Type	Cardinality	Definition
`+references`	<<Bibliography>> BibliographicItem	0..*	Bibliographical items included in the References Section.

BasicBlock¶

class models/blocks/BasicBlock.lml

Block of textual content in BasicDocument.

Attribute	Type	Cardinality	Definition
`+notes`	NoteBlock	0..*	Notes whose scope is the current block.
`+contribMetadata`	ContributionElementMetadata	0..*	Attribution of the block to a specific contributor, to be used in change management of documents.
`+attributes`	Attribute	0..*	Entries from the generic attribute register: an open key-value set that markup languages bind their own attribute types into.

BibliographicItem¶

class <<Bibliography>> models/bibdata/relaton/BibliographicItem.lml

Boundary reference to Relaton's BibliographicItem. Basicdoc defines only the bibliographic basis (BibData and its ext hook BibDataExtensionType); Relaton and downstream models extend and implement the full bibliographic semantics (OCP: open for extension, closed for modification here).
