8 ANSI/NISO Z39.102-2017 STS (Version 1.0) • 8.2 Attributes

8.2.141 @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.

In element <meta-date>, this attribute may be used if the element is used.
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.
In element <std>, this attribute may be used if the element is used.

In element <std-xref>, this attribute must be used if the element is used.
