Abstract
A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for processing special attributes within a file are provided. The method includes accessing the file with a hierarchical tree structure of file elements, and retrieving special attributes associated with the file elements. The special attributes are selectively assigned to the file elements. The method also includes interpreting the special attributes using hierarchical inheritance to pass the special attributes from subordinate file elements to higher-level file elements. The method further includes creating a file-level representation of the interpreted special attributes.
