Attributes
@data(optional)Used to link metadata elements to one or more data-containing elements. One or more values from data.URI, separated by spaces. att.datapointing
@decls(optional)Identifies one or more metadata elements within the header, which are understood to apply to the element bearing this attribute and its content. One or more values from data.URI, separated by spaces. att.declaring
@label(optional)Provides a name or label for an element. The value may be any string. Value of datatype string. att.commonPart
@lrx(optional)Indicates the lower-right corner x coordinate. Value of datatype nonNegativeInteger. att.coordinated
@lry(optional)Indicates the lower-left corner x coordinate. Value of datatype nonNegativeInteger. att.coordinated
@n(optional)Provides a number-like designation for an element. Value conforms to token. att.common
@startid(optional)Holds a reference to the first element in a sequence of events to which the feature applies. Value conforms to data.URI. att.startid
@subtype(optional)Provide any sub-classification for the element, additional to that given by its type attribute. Value of datatype NMTOKEN. att.typed
@type(optional)Characterizes the element in some sense, using any convenient classification scheme or typology. Value of datatype NMTOKEN. att.typed
