                           ELEMENT TYPE DECLARATIONS 
                           =========================

			

 
============================ AdministrativeMetadata ============================
Information about the provenance of a NewsComponent. 
================================================================================

			

 

================================ AssociatedWith ================================
A reference to a NewsItem with which this one is associated (for example, a
series of articles, or a collection of photos, of which it is a part). The 
NewsItem attribute identifies the relevant NewsItem. Its value can be an
http URL or a NewsML URN as described in the comment to PublicIdentifier. The
Comment can be used to indicate the nature of the association. FormalName attribute structure added in version 1.1
================================================================================


			

 
================================ BasisForChoice ================================
The content of this element is an XPath statement or element-type name
identifying information within each NewsComponent or ContentItem that can be
used as a basis for choice between equivalent NewsComponents or ContentItems.
If the XPath pattern begins with a . character, this represents the 'root' of
the XPath and corresponds to the NewsComponent or ContentItem itself. By
applying the XPath pattern to each NewsComponent or ContentItem in turn within
the set of equivalents, the system can extrac the data on the basis of which a
choice between the items can be made. If multiple matches to the XPath pattern
are present within the subtree that begins at the 'root', only the first match
found in document order is significant.  The optional Rank attribute allows
providers to place a numerical order on the
 importance they think should be
attached to the different bases for choice.
 Smaller numbers represent higher
importance.
================================================================================

			

 

==================================== ByLine ====================================
A natural-language statement of the author/creator information.
================================================================================

			

 


==================================== ByLineTitle ====================================
A natural-language statement of the title of author/creator of the information. (version 1.1)
================================================================================

			

 
=================================== Catalog ====================================
A container for Resource and TopicUse elements. Resource elements map URNs to
URLs and indicate default vocabularies which apply to the formal names of
certain elements within the subtree that begins with the immediate parent of
the Catalog element. TopicUse elements indicate where in the NewsML document
certain Topics are used. The optional Href attribute provides a pointer to
a Catalog element elsewhere in this or another document. Its value consists of
a # character followed by the value of the Duid attribute of the referenced
Catalog element and preceded, if the referenced Catalog is not in the current
document, by an http URL or a NewsML URN identifying the document or NewsItem
in which the Catalog appears. If the Href attribute is present on a Catalog
element, then that element should be empty. If it contains subelements, the
NewsML system may signal an error.
================================================================================

			

 
=============================== Characteristics ================================
Information about the physical characteristics of a ContentItem.
================================================================================

			

 
=================================== Comment ====================================
A natural-language description of, or statement about, the current element. The
optional TranslationOf attribute is a pointer to another Comment element, of
which this one is a direct translation. The FormalName and associated  attributes added for Version 1.1
