DTD (Document Type Definition)

A formal description of a particular type of XML. It defines a document structure, including the names of data elements and where they may occur within the structure. Valid XML conforms to the rules established in its DTD. XML parsers (such as Xerces) can check the validity of XML to its DTD.
