content-type

Type of Named Content

Definition

Identifies the subject or type of content that makes this word or phrase semantically special, as a means of preserving the semantic intent of prior tagging

Remarks

This attribute could be used to identify a drug name, company name, or product name. It could also be used to define systematics terms, such as genus, family, order, or suborder. Similarly, it could be used to identify biological components, such as gene, protein, or peptide. Therefore, values may include information classes, semantic categories, or types of nouns such as “generic-drug-name”, “genus-species”, “gene”, “peptide”, “product”, etc.

The <named-content> element usually causes the word or phrase identified to be treated in a special way, for example, given a different look in print or on display. This formatting may be guided by the content-type attribute, for example, making all circulatory system words red.
