7 Location address module

7.4 Multiple location

The attribute form multloc allows the properties of ordering and duplicate omission to be associated with a multiple location address element.

If multloc attributes are specified for an element that is not a multiple, it is not an RHE, but the attributes will be ignored by the HyTime engine.

A multiple location is inherently ordered. The attribute location ordering (ordering) indicates whether the order of the multiple locations is significant to the application ("ordered") or not ("noorder").

NOTE 158 This attribute might allow a HyTime engine to optimize access to the individual locations.

The attribute set (set) treats the multiple locations as an ordered set by ignoring any duplicate nodes in the resulting node list.
