The path is used to address an attribute within a WD context. It must

<zh>Format 1</> <Node1>.<Index1>.<Node2>.<Index2>. ... .<(>
<<)>Attribute_Name> (where Index -1 stands for lead selection)
<zh>Example of format 1</> "node1.3.node2.-1.value"
<zh>Format 2</> <Node1>.<Node2>. ... .<Attribute_Name>
<zh>Example of format 2</> "node1.node2.value"
<zh>Attention</>
The root node itself is not part of the path in all cases. In this case
the path did not obey to one of those formats.
