terms

terms =
  element terms {
    attribute id { text },
    term*
}

# Ignore
terms_subsection =
  element terms_subsection {
    attribute identifier { text },
    section_title?,
    ( term* | terms_subsection+ )
}


term =
  element term {
    attribute id? { text },
    preferred+, definition, note*, admitted*,
    termexample*, termdomain?, termdeprecates, termsource
  }

preferred =
  element preferred { TextElement }

admitted =
  element admitted { TextElement }

termdeprecates =
  element deprecates { TextElement }

note = element note { paragraph+ }

termdomain = element domain { text }

termexample = element example { paragraph+ }
# I'd argue example is in fact basic block; the ISO standard constraint to plain text is not universal

definition = element definition { paragraph+ }

termsource =
  element source {
    origin, origin_status, noteIfModified?
}

origin =
  element origin { bibliographic_item }
# need to type in UML

origin_status =
  element status { ( "identical" | "modified" ) }

noteIfModified =
  element note { paragraph }

Items for discussion (threaded: identify by number)

  1. term@identifier: renamed from "anchor", need to be consistent. Use either identifier or anchor for internal identifiers of block

  2. termexample: I’d argue termexample is in fact a basic block; the ISO standard constraint of it to be a plain string is not universal

  3. termsource/origin: needs to have type in UML as bibliographic_item

  4. Definitions in ISO can include figures and formulae, but let’s leave that out of this more general spec.

  5. Term/Source is not an Item, but a Citation
