<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking over a previous exam the question below appears. I haven’t ever seen an official definition of what a “field” is. The only official naming of the structural components of XML is “elements” and “attributes”. People sometimes refer
to some parts of XML as records, when an element contains other nested elements, and so the components of the record could maybe be called fields, but is this actually accurate?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking at the example below (from the 2018 exam I think), I am assuming that the three answers are given because the staffname and salary are explicit elements nested inside staffid, and because the staffid uses an attribute this also
be classed as a field, within the staffid record (which is sort of an implied staff record). This logic seems vague and shaky and I would like to be able to explain it better to students. Also to be able to answer the question of why “name” is not a field.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this type of question.
