Information on Document Type Definition
A Document Type Definition specifies the tags
and associated attributes that are permitted in an associated XML
or SGML document. In XML, the Document Type Definition is
part of the document prolog. The Document Type Definition may
reside within the XML document. Alternatively, the Document Type Definition
may lie in a separate file that is identified using
a URI.
In recent times, document designers have started to move
away from the use of Document Type Definition, using XML
schema instead. XML schema are seen as providing a more
flexible means for specifying the grammar of a class of
XML documents.
