is-form
Is Object a Form
Used on block-level structures such as figures and boxed-text to indicate that the content of the object is (semantically) a form.
Remarks
Form Semantics: This version of NISO STS makes no attempt to tag forms semantically or describe behavior such as filling out a form interactively. There is one attribute to mark a structure as a form (@is-form) and another to indicate the type/style of form being displayed (@form-type). When a structure such as a figure or boxed-text is marked as a form, the @specific-use attribute can be used to record some behavioral hint such as “interactive” or “non-interactive”.
What is a Form: NISO STS leaves it to individual standards organizations to define what constitutes a “form” in their environment.
Used on these Elements:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| form | Yes, the object is a form. (The @form-type attribute can be used to describe the style or type of the form.) |
| noform | The object is not a form. This value only exists for completeness; if the item is not a form, the @is-form attribute should not be used. |
| Restriction | This is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
Example
...
<sec sec-type="inspection">
<title>Field Notes</title>
<p>Inspectors must record all variances at the time of observation. A form
such as the one in <xref rid="nne-fe">Example F-2</xref> may be used.</p>
...
<non-normative-example id="nne-fe">
<fig is-form="form" form-type="blank">
<graphic orientation="landscape" mimetype="pdf" xlink:href="FieldObs.pdf"/>
</fig>
