B.1 Normative Referece
B.2 Informative Reference
This section is normative.
This Specification provides an XML-based language for emdedding glyph identifiers in an XML document.
NOTE: "Glyph" is defined in ISO/IEC 9541-1 as "a recognizable abstract graphic symbol which is independent of any specific design."
A glyph identifier is registered through the procedure for glyphs in ISO/IEC 10036.
This section is normative.
Glyph Reference Language is a language for embedding glyph identifier(s) with XML documents.
The namespace name is "http://www.xml.gr.jp/xmlns/PRE/Reference". The attribute for specifying glyph identifiers (i.e. the attribute name shown below) belongs to this namespace.
<!ATTLIST AnyElement name CDATA #REQUIRED>
NOTE: This Specification uses the DTD syntax for convenience. In practice, namespace prefixes shall be attached to the attributes.
Elements containing this attribute are meant to reference to glyphs. The value of this attribute is a glyph identifier.
NOTE: The attribute 'name' is typicaly used for searching glyph identifiers.
This XHTML document has a special glyph of '吉'. A normal glyph for '吉' has a long upper line. While the special one has a short upper line. In ISO/IEC 10646-1, these two variation were unified to form a single code point. But many Japanese people need to distinguish them. This example includes infomation for search processors to distinguish two variations, but does not include for display or printing processors. Note that 吉田茂(Yoshida Sigeru) is a Prime Minister of Japan in 1946-1954 A.D.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <body xmlns:glyph="http://www.xml.gr.jp/PRE/Reference"> <p><span glyph:name="ISO/IEC 10036/RA//Glyphs:10003290" >吉</span>田茂</p> </body> </html>
Same as Example 1, but includes information for human readers. An human readable comment was inserted. The search processors ignore the value of span elements. As a result, the comments will not be used for search.

Same as Example 1, but includes GIF graphics to express the glyph variation of '吉' for displaying or printing. GIF graphics is merely example, and any other graphics formats are suitable for this purpose.

This example expresses the name of 吉田茂 by SVG. This is a graphics file, but the search processor can detect which glyph was described by path shapes by glyph:name attribute.

NOTE: All above examples have the same glyph varietion for '吉'. Search processors reports all above documents have the same glyph. But displaying or printing processors simply ignore the glyph:name attribute, without understanding which glyph is represented.
