Decoding XML and the DTD========================This introductory article shows how to create XML Document Type Definitions(DTDs) and well-formed, well-defined XML files that can be validated by theXML parser of your choice. While you don't have to include a DTD with everyXML file you produce, doing so will make your life a lot easier. Not onlywill a DTD enforce the syntax you've established for your XML files, it willalso allow your files to be parsed by a validating XML parser. Code samplesinclude DTD and XML document examples.<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-dtdint?open&l=849,t=grx,p=XMLandDTDBasic">http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/x ... ndDTDBasic</a><!-- m --> XML and RDF techniques for knowledge management========================Columnist Uche Ogbuji begins his practical exploration of knowledge managementwith XML by illustrating techniques for populating Resource Description Framework(RDF) models with data from existing XML formats. As shown in the three codelistings, RDF can be used as a companion to customized XML, not just as acanonical representation for certain types of data. This column, with codesamples included, demonstrates how easy it can be to jump-start knowledgemanagement with RDF even relatively late in the development game.<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-think4?open&l=849,t=grx,p=ThkXML4">http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/x ... ,p=ThkXML4</a><!-- m -->
