This study advocates for XML schemas, an alternative to Document Type Definitions (DTDs), for describing XML document structures. It introduces tools to translate DTDs to XML schemas and browse them, enhancing data interoperability.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Information Science
  • Data Modeling

Background:

  • Document Type Definitions (DTDs) are established standards for defining XML document structures.
  • Healthcare standards like Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) and Guideline Element Model (GEM) utilize DTDs.
  • XML schemas offer an alternative, more powerful method for XML document description.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the adoption of XML schemas, particularly in the context of the ANSI-standardized HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA).
  • To highlight the limitations of existing tools in fully utilizing information from DTDs and XML schemas.
  • To present a suite of tools designed to bridge the gap between DTDs and XML schemas.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a DTD to XML Schema translator.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Creation of a DTD and XML schema browser.
  • Implementation of an XML editor compatible with DTDs and XML schemas.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional set of tools has been developed, including a translator, browser, and editor.
    • These tools are available for download from the official W3C website.
    • The developed tools effectively process and work with any DTD and XML schema, enhancing usability.

    Conclusions:

    • XML schemas present a robust alternative to DTDs for defining XML document structures.
    • The developed tools facilitate the transition from DTDs to XML schemas and improve the management of XML data.
    • Enhanced tool support can lead to better exploitation of knowledge embedded in XML schema definitions, improving data interoperability.
