Element

An element is a tag that is a container for subelements and attributes. For example, the object element contains defining information for the instance you are adding into the repository.

The root element, <icim>, is shown as the opening and closing tags for the entire file. For example, the ICIM/XML DTD allows you to import and export object, relationship, and attribute elements:

<!ELEMENT object ( attribute | relationship )* >
<!ELEMENT relationship ( object )* >
<!ELEMENT attribute (
        char | string | int | unsignedint | short |
   unsignedshort | long | unsignedlong | boolean | struct    | float   | double )* >
