References Element
A feature mapping rule may also contain an optional <references> element. This element specifies reference-sets that hold name/value pairs that may be accessed via <refexpr> expression elements. A detailed description for the <references> element and its content may be found in the Reference Mapping Rules section.
In a feature mapping rule the <references> element should appear before the <feature-type> element, for example:
<feature-map> <mapping match="..."> ... <references>...</references> <feature-type>...</feature-type> ... </mapping> </feature-map>
