(XML) Visual Representations of DTDs
I am doing some use cases for sports scheduling and results.
In places where the database schema may change depending on sport or
specific use case, I generically created an "XML" field for that type of
data. (Note: This is just in my head for thinking aloud purposes). thinking
that within this field I would store a specific data packet relevant to that
specific item. It would be defined by a dtd, or some other method of
defining a variable structure.
Now I want to create some discussion about specific use cases, and would
like a generic visual representation of the data structures. Now I could
create an access or SQL server database and create a schema chart, but I
thought I would keep in the same language I started with.
Question: How do you design DTDs? Any visual tools?
Question: Would I be better off to define data structures with WDDX (or
hybrid) for storage in a generic field? Any visual tools?
I guess its not rocket science right? Just shut up and do it.
Do I make any sense?
