The global attributes described here are made part of the
attribute definition list declaration of each element by including the
string %a.global
in each such declaration. Some global
attributes are made available when certain base or additional tag sets
are selected; these are incorporated into the global attributes by
references to the appropriate parameter entities. When the tag sets in
question have not been selected, the parameter entities in question
expand to the empty string.
This attribute functions like the global attribute of the same name in the main TEI DTD; for technical reasons it is declared differently.
This element class contains a subset of those elements which

The current element should be an analytic one. The element pointed at should be a textual one.
Any content of the current element should be ignored. Its true content is that of the element being pointed at.
This attribute should be placed on an element which is superordinate to all of the alternants from which the selection is being made.
Encoders may find it convenient to localize all
metadata elements, for example to contain them within the same divison
as the elements that they relate to; or to locate them all to a
division of their own. They may however appear at any point in a TEI
text.

When the default notation is used, it does not make sense to specify this attribute on any unit smaller than a line. Nor does the default notation provide any way to record internal rhyme, or to specify non-conventional rhyming practice. These extensions would require user-defined alternative notations.
The value may be a unique identifier from a database, or
simply a more explicit name for the referent. Its purpose is only to
record an identification; if the analysis leading to the identification
is to be recorded as well, the analytic tags described in chapter

If this attribute is supplied, every element specified as a target must be of one or other of the types specified. An application may choose whether or not to report failures to satisfy this constraint as errors, but may not access an element of the right identifier but the wrong type.
If no value is given, the application program is responsible for deciding (possibly on the basis of user input) how far to trace a chain of pointers.
If this attribute is supplied every element specified as a target must be contained within the element or elements specified by it. An application may choose whether or not to report failures to satisfy this constraint as errors, but may not access an element of the right identifier but in the wrong context. If this attribute is not supplied, then target elements may appear anywhere within the current document.

In the TEI DTDs, the default value for this attribute is
always the same as the generic identifier of the element. If an element
is renamed using the techniques described in chapter In the normal course of events, this attribute will never be
specified in a TEI-conformant document; all occurrences will have the
default value. In some special circumstances, it can be useful to
specify a non-default value on some instances of an element; this allows
application programs to process correctly a locally defined element
which usually corresponds to one TEI element (which would be expressed
by the default value) but sometimes to another TEI element (which would
be expressed by explicit values attached to the element instance).
