FODM – Introduction to XML 27/44
XML DTD
XML provides an application independent way of sharing data.
With a DTD, independent groups of people can agree to use a common DTD for
interchanging data.
Your application can use a standard DTD to verify that data that you receive
from the outside world is valid.
You can also use a DTD to verify your own data.
Like DTD, XML Schema is another way of describing the XML data structures.
The W3C seems to foresee XML Schemas as a replacement for DTDs. But for now,
DTD are largely used.
The purpose of a DTD is to define the legal building blocks of an
XML document.
It defines the document structure with a list of legal elements.

The DTD is interpreted like this:
!ELEMENT contact (in line 2) defines the element
“contact" as having one element: “name".
!ELEMENT name (in line 3) defines the element
“name” as having two elements: “firstname and
“surname".
!ELEMENT firstname and surname (in line 4-5)
defines the elements to be of the type "CDATA“
XML DTD
External Reference
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE note SYSTEM "note.dtd">
<contact>
<name>
<firstname>Ronan</firstname>
<name>O'Gara</name>
</name>
</contact>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!ELEMENT contact (name)>
<!ELEMENT name (firstname,surname)>
<!ELEMENT firstname (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT surname (#PCDATA)>
A DTD can be declared as an external reference.
External reference is done by calling an external file. It will contain the legal
elements. It will be called from a local link or by acceding by its URL.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<contact>
<name>
<firstname>Ronan</firstname>
<name>O'Gara</name>
</name>
</contact>
"Well Formed" XML
is a document that conforms to the XML
syntax rules
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE note SYSTEM "note.dtd">
<contact>
<name>
<firstname>Ronan</firstname>
<name>O'Gara</name>
</name>
</contact>
"Valid" XML
is a "Well Formed" XML document,
which also conforms to the rules of a
Document Type Definition (DTD)
Note: Errors in XML documents will stop the XML program
–The W3C XML specification states that a program should not continue to process an XML
document if it finds a validation error
–The reason is that XML software should be easy to write, and that all XML documents should be
compatible
