Vocabulary

The Vocabulary attribute, if present, provides a pointer to a TopicSet which is the controlled vocabulary that can be used to resolve the meaning of the FormalName. The value of the Vocabulary attribute is an http URL or a NewsML URN, or the # character followed by the value of the Duid attribute of the a TopicSet in the current document. If there is no Vocabulary attribute, then the controlled vocabulary to be used is located by the following algorithm: - Proceed to the parent of the current element. - If it has a Catalog element as its immediate child, see whether that Catalog contains a Resource element whose DefaultVocabularyFor child contains an XPath pattern that is matched by the current element. If so, then the controlled vocabulary is the resource identified by that Resource element. - If the parent does not meet the above condition, proceed to its parent and check the same condition. - Continue until a vocabulary is found, or no further parent elements are available because the root element has been reached and it too fails to meet the condition.
