Fix Version/s: ODF 1.1 Errata 01
-
Component/s: None
-
Labels:None
-
Environment:
This defect is a consequence of ODF 1.0 Errata 01 having an incorrect use of "xlink" where "link" is intended.
-
Proposal:
In ODF 1.0/1.1 section 9.3.3/Object Data, the bullet item for the xlink:href attribute describes what the link accomplishes. ODF 1.0 Errata 01 (and IS26300:2006 COR1) use the word "xlink" in one place in the added text where, in context, the correct term is "link" – what the link accomplishes and what it references, not what the name of the attribute is:
The corrected text should read
o The xlink:href attribute links to the object representation as follows:
- For objects that have an XML representation, the link
references the sub package of the object. For objects
that have an XML representation, the representation of
the object is equivalent to a separate document
representing that object, except it is stored in a folder
in the document package. The link references that
folder.
In ODF 1.0 Errata 01 and COR1, the word "link" in the last sentence is spelled "xlink".
[There is entirely different language in ODF 1.2, where this case is broadened. This correction does not raise any inconsistency.]
