<!-- Version 4.0 -->

<!-- Change History -->
<!-- June 22, 2004: Version finalized for docWORKS/METAe -->
<!-- November 19, 2004: Modifications requested by Justin Littman -->
<!-- Modifications of November 19, 2004: 
	1. add "Description" element
	2. change "InnerMargin/OuterMargin" to "LeftMargin/RightMargin", add "POSITION" attribute to "PAGE" element
	3. add "PROCESSING" attribute to "PAGE" element
	4. internal changes to validate with Xerces parser
	5. define fontstyles by enumerations
	6. change "WC" (word confidence) attribute to xsd:float in range of "0" to "1".
	7. Add "ALTERNATIVE" als childs to "STRING" element 
	8. Add "language" attribute to "Textblock" and "STRING" element
-->
<!-- Modifications of December 02, 2004: 
	1. fixed problem with multiple use of blockgroup
	2. add measurement enumeration 'inch1200'
-->
<!-- Modifications of December 14, 2004:
	1. "FILEID" (attribute of "ComposedBlock"): change type from xsd:IDREF to xsd:string
	2. include minor changes requested by JDL
	3. change "ZORDER" to "IDNEXT" (attribute of "BlockType")
-->
<!-- Modifications of February 24, 2006:
	1. ACCURACY attribute added to PAGE element to store information on OCR accuracy
	2. CS attribute added to TEXTLINE element to indicate manual correction status
-->
<!-- Modifications of June 20, 2007 (version 1.3):
	1. Adaption of xlink namespace and schema location to prevent conflicts on XSL transformations in combination with used namespace in original METS file
-->
<!-- Modifications of August 27, 2007 (version 1.4):
	1. add "QUALITY_DETAIL" attribute to "PAGE" element (gives more details about the page quality, is a free string comparing with QUALITY attribute which is a restrictive one)
	2. add "Cover" to "POSITION" attribute of "PAGE" element
	3. specification of interpretation of confidence values (CC, WC, PC and ACCURACY)
-->
<!-- Modifications of August 7, 2009:
	1. Change namespace from old CCS URI to LC-based URI.
	2. Use standard LC XLink Schema.
	3. Push version to 2.0 to reflect change in maintenance agency.
	4. Remove CCS copyright statement.
	5. Rollback to model used in 1.4 schema except with the changes itemized in 1-4 of this change note.  An incorrect version of the 2.0 alpha schema was public until 2010-01-11.  The incorrect version was a derivative of the Library of Congress's custom ALTO XML Schema that introduced new elements and attributes. 
-->
<!-- Modifications of January 11, 2010:
	1. Rollback to model used in 1.4 schema except with the changes itemized in 1-4 of the previous change note of August 7, 2009.  An incorrect version of the 2.0 alpha schema was public until 2010-01-11.  The incorrect version was a derivative of the Library of Congress's custom ALTO XML Schema that introduced new elements and attributes that extended the 1.4 model prior to editorial board approval. 
-->
<!-- February 20, 2014, version 2.1:
	1. Page and BlockType element HEIGHT, WIDTH, HPOS, VPOS attribute types changed to xsd:float from xsd:int.
	2. CircleType  HPOS, VPOS and RADIUS attribute type definitions added as xsd:float and made mandatory. Element annotation clarified.
	3. EllipseType HPOS,VPOS,HLENGTH and VLENGTH attribute type definitions added as xsd:float and made mandatory. Element annotation clarified.
	4. MeasurementUnit defined as mandatory and element annotation clarified.
	5. HYP element's CONTENT attribute type definition added as xsd:string.
	6. Tags (LayoutTag/StructureTag/RoleTag/NamedEntityTag/OtherTag) added to allow for tagging content. TAGREFS attribute added to BlockTypes, TextLine and String
	7. CS attribute added to String and Block.
	8. LANG attribute added to String, TextLine and TextBlock. "language" attribute in TextBlock deprecated.
	9. HEIGHT attribute added to HYP and SP elements.
-->
<!-- April, 2014, version 2.2 DRAFT:
	1. Anonymous types changed to named types (to allow use of xsd:redefine mechanism)	
-->
<!-- July 2014, version 2.2 DRAFT
	1. Version added to xsd:schema.
	2. SCHEMAVERSION attribute added to <alto> element.
	3. documentIdentifier element added to <sourceImageInformationType> element (+ documentIdentifierLocation attribute)
-->
<!-- August 2014, version 3.0
	1. Changed namespace and targetNamespace to http://www.loc.gov/standards/alto/ns-v3#
	2. Changed schema version to 3.0 

	ALTO schemas will be updated by whole numbers upon making changes that break backward compatibility (version 1 to version 2), 
	and decimals for changes that will not (2.0 to 2.1). The namespace itself will also only change on major versions (ns-v2 to ns-v3). 
-->
<!-- January 2016, version 3.1
	1. Changed schema version to 3.1
	2. Added support for using different shapes for the elements String, TextLine, all PageSpaceType elements and on all BlockType elements.
	3. The description of the attribute ROTATION is changed to the rotation of the contents of a block and not the block itself. The attribute is inherited by all sub elements.
-->
<!-- January 2018, version 4.0
	1. Changed schema version to 4.0
	2. Changed namespace and targetNamespace to http://www.loc.gov/standards/alto/ns-v4#
	3. Clarification and definition of the licensing to common standard "CC BY-SA 4.0" for this ALTO standard (with agreement of the authors)
	4. Added character based text description with new Glyph element and its subelement Variant (GlyphType, VariantType)
	5. Extended annotation for clarification of the difference of existing element ALTERNATIVE and Glyph/Variant
	6. Introduce generic "Processing" and deprecate "OcrProcessing"
	7. Introduce generic "processingStep" with "ProcessingStepType" and required attribute "ID" and deprecate "preProcessingStep", "ocrProcessingStep", "postProcessingStep"
	8. Add common vocabulary for "processingStep" comprising the "ContentGeneration", "ContentModification", "PreOperation", "PostOperation", "Other"
	9. Fix for the element Shape. The Shape element can now only be used once within a PageSpace or a TextLine as it was intended.

				Modern OCR software stores information on glyph level. A glyph is essentially a character or ligature.
				Accordingly the value for the glyph element will be defined as follows:
				Pre-composed representation = base + combining character(s) (decomposed representation)
				See http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0101/index.htm
				"U+0101" = (U+0061) + (U+0304)
				"combining characters" ("base characters" in combination with non-spacing marks or characters which are combined to one) are represented as one "glyph", e.g. áàâ.
				
				Each glyph has its own coordinate information and must be separately addressable as a distinct object.
				Correction and verification processes can be carried out for individual characters.
				
				Post-OCR analysis of the text as well as adaptive OCR algorithm must be able to record information on glyph level.
				In order to reproduce the decision of the OCR software, optional characters must be recorded. These are called variants.
				The OCR software evaluates each variant and picks the one with the highest confidence score as the glyph.
				The confidence score expresses how confident the OCR software is that a single glyph had been recognized correctly.
				
				The glyph elements are in order of the word. Each glyph need to be recorded to built up the whole word sequence.
				
				The glyph’s CONTENT attribute is no replacement for the string’s CONTENT attribute.
				Due to post-processing steps such as correction the values of both attributes may be inconsistent.
