2.2.3.4.4 StartIndex Attribute

Type: xs:int ([XMLSCHEMA2/2] section 3.3.17)

The StartIndex attribute is an integer that specifies the location of a known entity, relative to the value of the Position attribute, as specified in section 2.2.3.4.3. It is used by the following complex types:

• Address, as specified in section 2.2.3.2.1

• Business, as specified in section 2.2.3.2.11

• Email, as specified in section 2.2.3.2.14

• Meeting, as specified in section 2.2.3.2.17

• Person, as specified in section 2.2.3.2.19

• Phone, as specified in section 2.2.3.2.20

• Task, as specified in section 2.2.3.2.22

• Url, as specified in section 2.2.3.2.24

The meaning of this attribute depends on the value of the Position attribute on the containing element.

If the Position attribute has a value of "Subject", the value of the StartIndex attribute is the number of characters from the beginning of the subject of the message.

For all other values of the Position attribute, the value of the StartIndex attribute is the number of characters from the beginning of the plain text representation of the body of the message.

A value of -1 indicates that the exact location of the known entity is unavailable.
