Inside XML DTDs: Scientific and Technical

by Simon St. Laurent

A guide to creating, using, and updating document type definitions (DTDs), which provide a layer of additional power on top of the document structures built into XML and enable documents to share large chunks of information. Written by a consultant and a programmer, the guide covers both general DTDs and the technically specific MathML, Chemical Markup Language, and Bioinformatic Sequence Language. The CD-ROM contains DTDs discussed in the book, sample documents, and browsers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
