As someone (you?) already pointed out: It's very much like database design (or "knowledge engineering", whatever you like more). You have entities (in the database sense) and relations between entities. In XML you would map database entities to "elements", and you'd map database relations in to references (like HTML's "<a href=id>" and "<a name=id>"). Database "tables" would be sequences of elements in XML. That's basically it. The DTD (Document Type Definition) defines what elements are known, what their attributes are, and how they may be nested. The DTD has its own syntax. Finally: I'm no XML expert, because I think SGML is powerful enough ;-) Recommended reading: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml Regards, Ulrich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
