Usage/Remarks

Subsidiary section:

Type (class, kind) in MathML

OPTIONAL on element: <meta-date>
Value Meaning
Text, numbers, or special characters Names, for example, a lifecycle stage that should not be expressed with <release-date> or a circumstance that is unique to a particular standards organization, for example, “Date of Issuance” for ASME or “Date of ratification” for CEN-CENELEC. There are no suggested values for this attribute. The attribute @type is retained for backwards compatibility with ISO STS. Best Practice for new documents is to use the @date-type attribute instead of the @type attribute to record this information.
Restriction This is an optional attribute; there is no default.
OPTIONAL on element: <std>
Value Meaning
dated The standard being cited is a specific dated version of a standard.
multipart The standard being cited is a multipart standard.
undated The standard being cited is a standard without a specifying date.
Restriction This is an optional attribute; there is no default.
OPTIONAL on element: <std-ref>
Value Meaning
dated The standard designator is a dated version of a standard.
short The standard designator is a short form of the standard designator.
undated The standard designator does not include a specifying date.
Restriction This is an optional attribute; there is no default.
REQUIRED on element: <std-xref>
Value Meaning
Text, numbers, or special characters The type of standard to which this cross-reference is pointing, for example, a value of “supersedes” would indicate that this cross-reference points to the standard that the current standard supersedes.
Restriction This attribute is required; it must be provided if the element is used.

Suggested usage

Best Practice for <std-xref> only: When used on the <std-xref> element, this @type attribute may take any value. However, the following values are considered to be Best Practice:
adopted_from
The cross-reference is to a standard from which the current standard is derived.
amends
The cross-reference is to the standard which the current standard amends. Thus the current document is an amendment to this referenced document.
consolidates
The cross-reference is to the standards which the current standard consolidates.
corrects
The cross-reference is to the standard which the current standard corrects.
replaces
The cross-reference is to the standard which the current standard replaces.
revision_of
The cross-reference is to the standard the current standard revises.
supersedes
The cross-reference is to the standard the current standard supersedes.
