When we started developing MusicXML, a DTD (Document Type Definition) was the only official W3C recommendation for defining an XML document. Since that time, XML Schemas have become an official W3C recommendation, and alternative schema languages like RELAX NG have also become available. W3C XML Schemas offer many benefits when using XML in electronic commerce and business database applications. For musical documents, though, the advantages are less compelling.

Atomik works with almost all DTDs and Schemas that conform to the XML standards defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). If your DTD or Schema uses external entity references, you will need to make sure these are available to Atomik Roundtrip as it is not possible for QuarkXPress to access these across the Web. Entity locations and other parameters can be defined in the Atomik Roundtrip preferences.

Yes. Atomik Roundtrip does not require the use of a special DTD in order to be able to import the XML into QuarkXPress. Therefore you can use any XML created with your existing company DTD or Schema

lt;!ELEMENT Root (customer | transaction)+ > <!ELEMENT customer (#PCDATA) > <!ELEMENT transaction (#PCDATA) > lt;xsd:element name="Root" > <xsd:complexType"> <xsd:choice maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xsd:element name="customer" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="transaction" type="xsd:string"/> </xsd:choice> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element >

IMHO, no, xml schema will gain more market shares, but it will never replace DTD. Xml schema has a serious problem, which is too complicated. Read an excellent article from Dr. David Mertz here Comparing W3C XML Schemas and Document Type Definitions (DTDs).C (born in 1970's), C++ (born in 1980's), Java (born in 1990's) have not finally replaced FORTRAN/COBOL ((born in 1950's) yet. .NET ((born in the 21st century) is actually making FORTRAN/COBOL more alive than before.

Answer:No. Don't plan on having one either at this point. Changes would be too frequent to realistically keep up with.

Tagging itself isn't useful unless certain rules are established. For example, if one investigator uses the tag <title> to denote a study title, while another uses <study-title> or <studyTitle>, then immediately the XML becomes less useful because there's no easy way for a computer application to determine where the title can be located. To prevent this situation, we make use of a Document Type Definition (DTD) or an XML Schema.

No, not yet, but I'd like to. I'm already working on a Schema, but I've never done one before, so I'm taking my time to get it right :).

Yes. Many writers have had at least some experience with HTML as a markup language. Therefore the base DITA DTD incorporates as many HTML elements as are useful for the type of technical information for which topics might be used.

Right here! The original documents that accompany this proposal were authored in XML using the ditabase DTD. For latest information about the ongoing status of the DITA standard and its community of users, see the DITA Focus Area at dita.xml.org. IBM donated DITA to the OASIS standards organization in March of 2004, where it is now managed by the OASIS DITA Technical Committee (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/dita/). In April of 2005, OASIS approved Version 1.

The Schema is a blueprint of all objects in the domain and when first created a default Schema exists which contains definitions for users, computers, domains etc. Because of this, you can only have one schema per domain as you cannot have multiple definitions of the same object. The default schema definition is defined in the SCHEMA.INI file that also contains the initial structure for the NTDS.DIT (storage for the Directory data). This file is located in the %systemroot%\ntds directory.

Currently you can't do this, in JDOM or any other Java document object model API. However, this is something we'd like JDOM to support, and we have a volunteer who's working on it. No, it's our current belief that it's better to expose a checkValid() type of call than to attempt constant validation checking. One reason is performance.

public class DatabaseExportSample { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // database connection Class driverClass = Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"); Connection jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:hsqldb:sample", "sa", ""); IDatabaseConnection connection = new DatabaseConnection(jdbcConnection); // write DTD file FlatDtdDataSet.write(connection.createDataSet(), new FileOutputStream("test.

The /docs directory of the distribution includes both a DTD (binding.dtd) and an XML schema (binding.xsd) for the binding definitions. These will hopefully be kept up to date, but the definitive reference for the binding definition format is the HTML documentation.

The answer is yes or no. XML spy or anyone else can make an example from xml schema or dtd easily. I also made 4 examples from my trivial DTD on my FAQ here. This does not mean you can generate XML deterministically from xml schema or dtd. If you make your algorithm a lot more complicated by using (direct) graph theory, you even can decide the root element. However, it is still non-deterministic.

Not directly, however you can convert your DTD to an XML Schema fairly easily. We provide a tool (org.exolab.castor.xml.dtd.Converter) to do this. You can also use any number of 3rd-party tools such as XML Spy or XML Authority.

The IIS metabase schema is a custom implementation, not a DTD or XCD file. You can find the IIS metabase schema in the following location: Yes. You can use overlapped recycling of worker processes to continue to process current requests while a new worker process is started up and made ready. You can also set time limits on how long the old worker process will continue working before the new worker process takes over. For more information on overlapped recycling, see IIS Process Recycling.

Schemas (and DTDs) are frequently part of our specifications and seemingly fall under the document copyright terms. However, as long as you do not use the same formal namespace or public identifier to identify that modified OGC schema/DTD (which might confuse applications), you may treat the schema/DTD under the software terms.

W3C Schema versions of the Archiving and Interchange DTD and the Journal Publishing DTD are now available. The DTD authors considered writing the "master" version of these tag sets in W3C XML Schema before we wrote the DTD. We understand that many people want to use XML schemas, and that there are XML tools that use only W3C XML Schema. We chose to express the "master" version of these tags sets in DTD form for several reasons (described below).

Chlorine changes the tastes and odor of water. Chlorination can also produce harmful by-products called Trihalomethanes (THMs) which are linked to incidence of cancer. No, the UV unit will use about the same amount of energy as a 60 watt light bulb. It is a cost effective, natural way to increase water quality where microbiological contamination is present and to provide peace of mind where microbiological contamination is a greater risk.

The mohel is a super-specialist, an expert at his profession, who probably possesses more experience at performing circumcisions than most doctors. A mohel may have the opportunity to perform more brisses in a month than some doctors do in an entire year. Doctors may be called away on medical emergencies and have to cancel their participation in your child's circumcision at the last minute.

This is mainly a stylistic decision. Several XML books advise representing semantics in elements rather than attributes where possible. One advantage of doing this is that elements have structure, but attributes do not. If you find that what you are representing really has more than one part, you can create a hierarchical structure with an element. With attributes, you are limited to an unordered list.

I can kill Cocoon (2.0.4 or 2.1rc3) by pressing the Reload-Button for a while. This also works with some of cocoons Live-Sites (using a DSL-Connection). Why is that?? (I don't think that I will use Cocoon any more...)

There is no single answer to this: a lot depends on what you are designing the document type for. The two extremes are best illustrated with examples.

You even can use different DTDs according to your situation (production/development), probobly put in a property/configuration file. If the third party XML has no DTD: You can use xslt to transform your xml string to a new one. See complete instructions here: Controlling the DOCTYPE and XML Declaration If you don't want to change the XML file or string, you can set an equivalent schema. Schema can be specified on processing time.

It is not recommended. I made it work once, the major reason was trying to take advantage of DTD entities. It would be easily causing confusion. It would be hard to maintain stuff in the feature.

Please check out tests/glob-prefs.xml where the dtd-pref is an info-field for a format in the output-prefs. This may also be customised in src/clisp/base/defaults.lisp before compilation.
