An unexpanded entity reference information item maps to a EntityReference node. The attributes of the corresponding EntityReference node are constructed as follows:

13The table contains the mapping of an Infoset information item to a Node Attribute Value

11`Node.nodeName`	11The [name] property
11`Node.nodeValue`	11`null`
11`Node.nodeType`	11`Node.ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE`
11`Node.parentNode`	11the [parent] property
11`Node.childNodes`	11Empty `NodeList`
11`Node.firstChild`	11`null`
11`Node.lastChild`	11`null`
11`Node.previousSibling`	11`null`
11`Node.nextSibling`	11`null`
11`Node.attributes`	11`null`
11`Node.ownerDocument`	11The document information item
11`Node.namespaceURI`	11`null`
11`Node.prefix`	11`null`
11`Node.localName`	11`null`
11`Node.baseURI`	11The [declaration base URI] property
11`Node.textContent`	11`null` (the node has no children)

NOTE:
The [system identifier] and [public identifier] properties are not exposed through the EntityReference node, but through the Entity node reference from this EntityReference node, if any.

EntityReference Node to Infoset

An EntityReference node maps to an unexpanded entity reference information item. EntityReference nodes with children (Node.childNodes contains a non-empty list) cannot be represented using the Infoset. The properties of the corresponding unexpanded entity reference information item are constructed as follows:

13The table contains the mapping of a Node to the Infoset Property Value

11[name]	11`Node.nodeName`
11[system identifier]	11The `Entity.systemId` value of the `Entity` node available from `Node.ownerDocument.doctype.entities` if available
11[public identifier]	11The `Entity.publicId` value of the `Entity` node available from `Node.ownerDocument.doctype.entities` if available
11[declaration base URI]	11`Node.baseURI`
11[parent]	11`Node.parentNode`
