type
Type (class, kind)
Provides type or kind classing for the content of its element. The values for this attribute vary depending on the element to which the attribute is attached.
Remarks
MathML: The @type attribute can also be used in MathML. When used with MathML, use the documentation for the MathML 2.0 Tag Set: https://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/ or for MathML 3.0 Tag Set: https://www.w3.org/TR/MathML3/ rather than the documentation on this page.
Used 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. |
Used 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. |

| Restriction | This is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
Used 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. |
