anonymous type name

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

An anonymous type name is an implementation dependent, unique type name provided by the processor for every anonymous type declared in the schemas available.
atomic type

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

An atomic type is a primitive simple type or a type derived by restriction from another atomic type.
atomic value

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

An atomic value is a value in the value space of an atomic type and is labeled with the name of that atomic type.
document

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

A tree whose root node is a Document Node is referred to as a document.
document order

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

A document order is defined among all the nodes accessible during a given query or transformation. Document order is a total ordering, although the relative order of some nodes is implementation-dependent. Informally, document order is the order in which nodes appear in the XML serialization of a document.
expanded-QName

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

An expanded-QName is a set of three values consisting of a possibly empty prefix, a possibly empty namespace URI, and a local name.
fragment

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

A tree whose root node is not a Document Node is referred to as a fragment.
implementation defined

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

Implementation-defined indicates an aspect that may differ between implementations, but must be specified by the implementor for each particular implementation.
implementation dependent

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

Implementation-dependent indicates an aspect that may differ between implementations, is not specified by this or any W3C specification, and is not required to be specified by the implementor for any particular implementation.
incompletely validated

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

An incompletely validated document is an XML document that has a corresponding schema but whose schema-validity assessment has resulted in one or more element or attribute information items being assigned values other than 'valid' for the [validity] property in the PSVI.
instance of the data model

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

Every instance of the data model is a sequence.
item

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

An item is either a node or an atomic value
nodes

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

There are seven kinds of Nodes in the data model: document, element, attribute, text, namespace, processing instruction, and comment.
primitive simple types

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

There are 23 primitive simple types: the 19 defined in of and xs:untyped, xs:untypedAtomic, xs:anyAtomicType, xs:dayTimeDuration, and xs:yearMonthDuration
sequence

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

A sequence is an ordered collection of zero or more items.
stable

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23)

Document order is stable, which means that the relative order of two nodes will not change during the processing of a given query or transformation, even if this order is implementation-dependent.
