ref-type Type of Cross-Reference
Type of element that is the target of the cross-reference (for example,
“figure”, “author-note”,
“bibliographic”
and “reference”). The
values may be used for type-specific processing or validation.
Usage/Remarks
The <xref> element may be used to reference anything that has an @id attribute. This single element takes the place of the many named types of references
(such as figure references, table references, and footnote references) that are common
in many tag sets. This attribute preserves the information from such tag sets concerning
the type of element to which the cross-reference is pointing.
OPTIONAL on element: <xref>
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
Text, numbers, or special characters | The element to which the reference points, for example, “fig” to indicate that the reference points to a figure (<fig>). |
Restriction | @ref-type is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
Suggested usage
Although designed to accept any text as its value, potential values for this attribute
might include:
aff
|
Affiliation
|
---|---|
app

custom
|
The value “custom” is used in versions of JATS that have a static list of values for
the @fn-type attribute. To add a value to such a list, the bibliographic reference is given
the @ref-type
“custom” and a separate @custom-type attribute provides the typing value. There is no need for such a value in BITS,
since there are no restrictions on the value of @ref-type, but “custom” and @custom-type have both been included in BITS so that the body of a JATS document can be made
into a BITS book part body without transformation.
