@xlink:actuate

[SJagodzinski]

Xlink: Actuate

Remove xlink namespace and attribute @xlink:actuate. Do not replace with @actuate.

Agreed in EAC-CPF and in EAD team to remove this attribute to simplify the schema, cf Berlin meeting:

Use @linkrole, @linktitle, and @href, from former XLink attributes and drop @actuate, @arcrole, @show.

Corresponding attribute in EAD: @actuate

Summary: A control that defines whether a rendering application should present an actionable link automatically (onload) or when requested by the user (onrequest). It is used in conjunction with show to determine link behavior.

Values: none, onload, onrequest, other

Context

Summary: Used to signal intended behavior with respect to whether the remote resource link is resolved when the containing resource is rendered, or when the user requests the resource.

Description and Usage: The xlink:actuate should be used with the xlink:show to indicate intended behavior. The xlink:actuate is used to signal intended behavior with respect to when the remote resource is to appear. The values indicate whether the resource is to appear automatically when the containing resource is rendered ("onLoad"), or only after the user requests the resource ("onRequest"). "None" or "other" are also valid values.

Data Type: "onLoad" or "onRequest" or "other" or "none"

Solution documentation: agreed solution for TL and guidelines

• remove from Tag Library

Tested as part of Schema Team's schema testing:

• @xlink:actuate is not available anymore in the draft schema for EAC-CPF 2.0, though with allowing attributes of any namespace one could of course still use @xlink:actuate along with other XLink attributes if wanted

The above applies to both schemas, RNG and XSD.

The attribute is ready.
