| syeshin | f3d0d4b | 2005-07-27 18:33:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | <div><p>A notation is a means of associating a binary description with |
| syeshin | d0bdb8e | 2005-10-27 17:44:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 23 | an entity or attribute. The most common uses of notations are to include familiar |
| 24 | types of binary references, such as GIFs and JPGs, in an XML file.</p> |
| 25 | <div class="section"><p>For example, you are making a catalogue of your clothing and want |
| 26 | to include an image of one of your shirts. You would have to create a notation |
| 27 | like this: <kbd class="userinput"><notation name="My_Shirt" system="GIF"></notation></kbd> which |
| 28 | defines a notation for a GIF image.</p> |
| 29 | <p>The following instructions were written for the Resource perspective, but |
| 30 | they will also work in many other perspectives.</p> |
