Pattern

<cross-action id="pattern-1" a="ebenimeli">
  <description>Pattern 1</description>
  <pattern>
    <e>
      <p>
        <l>lemmaA</l>
        <r>lemmaB</r>

    </e>
    <e r="RL">
      <p>
        <l>lemmaB</l>
        <r>lemmaC</r>

    </e>
  </pattern>
  <action-set>
    <action>
      <e>
        <p>
          <l>lemmaA</l>
          <r>lemmaC</r>

      </e>
    </action>
  </action-set>
</cross-action>

Candidate elements

In the example shown above, the pair of elements are candidate elements to be crossed because the lemma coixí (pillow in English) for the common language (B) is the same in both.

<!-- element in bilingual dictionary es-ca -->
<e a="author1">
  <p>
    <l>almohada</l>
    <r>coixí</r>

</e>
<!-- element in bilingual dictionary ca-fr -->
<e r="RL" a="author2">
  <p>
    <l>coixí</l>
    <r>oreiller</r>

</e>

Action

<!--
  pattern-1
-->
<e r="RL" a="author1/author2">
  <p>
    <l>almohada<s n="n"/><s n="f"/></l>
    <r>oreiller<s n="n"/><s n="m"/></r>
  </p>
</e>
  • The restriction RL has been resolved automatically.
  • Authors (attribute a) from both elements have been merged.
