Document Schema Definition Languages

Document Schema Definition Languages (DSDL) is a framework within which multiple validation tasks of different types can be applied to an XML document in order to achieve more complete validation results than just the application of a single technology.

It is specified as a multi-part ISO/IEC Standard, ISO/IEC 19757. It was developed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34 (ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 34 - Document description and processing languages).

DSDL defines a modular set of specifications for describing the document structures, data types, and data relationships in structured information resources.

  • Part 7: Character Repertoire Description Language (CREPDL)
  • Part 8: Document Semantics Renaming Language (DSRL)
  • Part 9: Namespace and datatype declaration in Document Type Definitions (DTDs) (Datatype- and namespace-aware DTDs)

Famous quotes containing the words document, definition and/or languages:

    ... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.
    Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)

    The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    No doubt, to a man of sense, travel offers advantages. As many languages as he has, as many friends, as many arts and trades, so many times is he a man. A foreign country is a point of comparison, wherefrom to judge his own.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
