<bit>

An individual concept, part of a composite concept expressed by a bag.

Declared locally only; it is not a valid document root.

Note

Usage note

User Note: The significance attribute attribute is assigned to a special use case of a bag with subject properties: the bag includes one bit representing an event and one or more other bits representing entities which are related to this event. Only in this case the significance attribute may be used to express the significance of this event to the concept of the bit carrying this attribute.

If the bag includes more than one event, any significance attribute of bits in the bag SHALL be ignored.

Example 1:

A merger of two companies which is differently significant to the two parties of the merger: the significance of the merger for the small company is high while it is low to the global player company.

<bag>
    <bit type="cpnat:event" qcode=" abevents:Merger123AB"/>
    <bit type="cpnat:organisation" qcode="isin:TinyCompany" significance="100"/>
    <bit type="cpnat:organisation" qcode="isin:GlobalPlayerCompany" significance="10"/>
</bag>

Attributes

Attribute Type Use Description

Attribute	Type	Use	Description
Declared on this element
`type`	`QCodeType`	optional	The type of the concept assigned as controlled property value - expressed by a QCode
`typeuri`	`IRIType`	optional	The type of the concept assigned as controlled property value - expressed by a URI
`significance`	`Int100Type`	optional	Indicates how significant the event expressed by a bit of event concept type is to the concept expressed by this bit The scope of this relationship is limited to the bits of a single bag. See also the note below the table.
Inherited from `QCodePropType`
`qcode`	`QCodeType`	optional	A concept identifier expressed as a string of the form sss:ccc, where sss is a scheme alias and ccc is a code. Either the qcode or the uri attribute MUST be used
`uri`	`IRIType`	optional	A URI which identifies a concept - either the qcode or the uri attribute MUST be used
From commonPowerAttributes
`id`	`ID`	optional	The local identifier of the property.
`creator`	`QCodeType`	optional	If the property value is not defined, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) will edit the property value - expressed by a QCode. If the property value is defined, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) has edited the property value.
`creatoruri`	`IRIType`	optional	If the property value is not defined, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) will edit the property - expressed by a URI. If the property value is defined, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) has edited the property.
`modified`	`DateOptTimeType`	optional	The date (and, optionally, the time) when the property was last modified. The initial value is the date (and, optionally, the time) of creation of the property.
`custom`	`boolean`	optional	If set to true the corresponding property was added to the G2 Item for a specific customer or group of customers only. The default value of this property is false which applies when this attribute is not used with the property.
`how`	`QCodeType`	optional	Indicates by which means the value was extracted from the content - expressed by a QCode
`howuri`	`IRIType`	optional	Indicates by which means the value was extracted from the content - expressed by a URI
`why`	`QCodeType`	optional	Why the metadata has been included - expressed by a QCode
`whyuri`	`IRIType`	optional	Why the metadata has been included - expressed by a URI
`pubconstraint`	`QCodeListType`	optional	One or many constraints that apply to publishing the value of the property - expressed by a QCode. Each constraint applies to all descendant elements.
`pubconstrainturi`	`IRIListType`	optional	One or many constraints that apply to publishing the value of the property - expressed by a URI. Each constraint applies to all descendant elements.
From quantifyAttributes
`confidence`	`Int100Type`	optional	The confidence with which the metadata has been assigned.
`relevance`	`Int100Type`	optional	The relevance of the metadata to the news content to which it is attached.
`derivedfrom`	`QCodeListType`	optional	A reference to the concept from which the concept identified by qcode was derived/inferred - use DEPRECATED in NewsML-G2 2.12 and higher, use the derivedFrom element
