Data Type: IDREF

• example needed
• How to distinguish between using <reference @href> and @vocabularyURI / @vocabularySourceURI? Deal with this via documentation, i.e. @vocabularyURI / @vocabularySourceURI are used for links specifically to vocabularies, thesauri, ontologies, while <reference @href> is used for generic resources (e.g. Wikipedia page with <reference @href>, but @vocabularyURI for Wikidata ID)

Summary: A pointer to the ID of another element. Used to create internal links within an XML instance. Available in all elements except <eac>. Data Type: IDREFS

Tested as part of Schema Team's schema testing:

• @target is available with 88 elements of EAC-CPF 2.0, i.e. all elements with the exception of <eac>
• Its data type is IDREFS
• It is always available alongside @id
• It is always available alongside @audience

The above applies to both schemas, RNG and XSD.

The attribute is ready.

@ailie-s the data type has recently changed to IDREFS in order to allow for several IDs to be pointed to within one attribute.
