Dependency¶
Definition¶
<dependency type="wh_question" predicate="depending_predicate">
<question type="wh_question" predicate="predicate_depended_upon"/>
</dependency>
The element defines dependency from one question to the other.
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type | string | Question type. This can be a wh-question or other questions. |
| predicate | string | This is the predicate of the question which depends on the contained question. |

Behaviour¶
In practice, the use of this element makes TDM see the two questions as related to each other, so that a question about the predicate depended upon is seen as relevant when the user is being asked about the depending predicate. This means that TDM will not see this as a topic switch.
Examples¶
A dependency declaration that states that some_predicate is dependent on explanation_of_word.¶
<dependency type="wh_question" predicate="some_predicate">
<question type="wh_question" predicate="explanation_of_word"/>
</dependency>
