- Sequence [1..1]

- Party [1..*] An indication of the person, company or organisation that has a particular relationship to this NewsItem in the news workflow. The value of the FormalName attribute is a formal name for the Party. Its meaning and permitted values are determined by a controlled vocabulary as described in the comment to the formalname attribute group declaration above. The optional Topic attribute may be used as a direct pointer to that Topic. The pointer may take the form of an http URL or a NewsML URN, or a # character followed by the value of the Duid attribute of a Topic element in the current document. The Property child element eliminates the need for creation of ad-hoc topics for volatile information internal to a NewsML document (eg the name of the person involved in editing of the story, which is usually internal information to the provider).
