Describes a cross-reference to another piece of legislation
There are two levels of citation – main citations that refer to the actual document
and sub-references that link to the main citation (or another sub-reference) and which
highlight fragments within the cited document.
For local secondary cross-references there may not be enough information to indicate
that the target is local. In these cases the non-local version is to be synonymous.
If the Number is missing, there must be a Date. This should only happen for Church
Instruments.
A number for the cited item in an alternative numbering series. For example, an Order
that applies to Northern Ireland would have an alternative number of the format 'NI
11'. For early primary legislation (pre-1963), this will usually hold the regnal year
e.g. 7 & 8 Eliz. 2
This provides the URI address for those documents that exist at a known location or
by using the other attribute values where the target cannot be calculated. Restraint
should be shown in using this attribute.
Should be used to indicate the main language of the content contained by the element
upon which the attribute is appearing. Values should be taken from the ISO 639 standard.
This attribute should be used where the language is different from the main language
of the document.
Is used to indicate whether white space is significant in the contained content and
can contain the value ‘default’ or ‘preserve’. For a value of ‘default’, it is left
to an application as to how to treat white space.

Describes a text fragment of a citation referring to a specific part of the cited
document.
The CitationRef attribute normally links the sub-reference back to a single citation,
but it is possible to link to multiple citations by separating the IDs with spaces.
It is also possible to link to another sub-reference using the CitationRef attribute.
The main citation reference may become a hyperlink to the cited document and that
sub-references may become hyperlinks either back to the main citation or sub-reference,
or, by de-referencing the sub-references, could also become links to the target document.
When true on a citation within a commentary, this refers to the operative section:
the one that actually contains the change to the legislation as opposed to supporting
material that might describe its extent or the date at which it comes into force.
Provides the id of the section of legislation that the citation refers to. If this
attribute is not present, the StartSectionRef and EndSectionRef attributes must be
present.
Where the citation refers to a range of sections, this provides the id of the first
section to which the citation refers. If this attribute is present, the EndSectionRef
attribute must also be present and the SectionRef attribute must not be present; if
it's not present, the SectionRef attribute must be present.
This represents the type of content, e.g. a pointer as to the text format, e.g. group
would be 'subsections (5) and (6)'. Its purpose is to give a processor some clue as
to how to process the content
The URI is derivable from the Class, Year and Number of the referenced Citation in
combination with the SectionRef or StartSectionRef and is provided as a convenience.
The UpTo URI is derivable from the Class, Year and Number of the referenced Citation,
plus the EndSectionRef attribute, and is provided as a convenience.
Should be used to indicate the main language of the content contained by the element
upon which the attribute is appearing. Values should be taken from the ISO 639 standard.
This attribute should be used where the language is different from the main language
of the document.
Is used to indicate whether white space is significant in the contained content and
can contain the value ‘default’ or ‘preserve’. For a value of ‘default’, it is left
to an application as to how to treat white space.
