SigiDocʼs attributesʼ values

This page groups together all the values required in order to properly use the SigiDoc template and some of its attributes. The following tables are organised in alphabetical order according to the templateʼs attributes, repeated when they are part of different elements: the first table contains the predefined values among which the encoder should choose according to their specific needs; the second table, in contrast, contains the fixes values as they appear on the SigiDoc template and in the SigiDoc schema: these values should not be changed, as they are part of the transformation process of the SigiDoc XML files.
