MetaMarkup 2000

MetaMarkup Paper XML DTD

Click to download the MetaMarkup Paper XML DTD package (in .zip format).

If you cannot retrieve the file using the http protocol, you may also ftp it from ftp.mulberrytech.com/pub/MM2000.

Collected in this package are the DTD and external entity sets for a conference paper, in an XML version. Any conference papers submitted for consideration for MetaMarkup 2000 should be marked up in conformance with this DTD, or with the SGML version of the DTD, available at http://www.mulberrytech.com/MM2000/mmsgmldtd.html.

In addition, we have a DSSSL style sheet for the paper document type. Download it here or find it on the ftp site.

Hints for Use

The DTD is heavily commented. Please read these comments carefully; they should answer most user questions on the DTD and on creating documents according to it. If you have any questions about tag usage or expected behaviors of tagged structures, they may be sent to MM2000@mulberrytech.com.

An XML instance of an conference paper should validate against this DTD if all files are placed together in a subdirectory, and if your instance includes the declaration:

<!DOCTYPE paper PUBLIC
  "-//GCA//DTD MMPAPER.DTD 20000209 XML Vers 1.0//EN"
  "mmpaper.xml.dtd">

or simply

<!DOCTYPE paper SYSTEM "mmpaper.xml.dtd">

[include a pathname to the file as necessary]

This installation has been tested using James Clark's NSGMLS processor (with the -wxml switch) and IBM's XML4J package (version 2.0.15). Since XML editing systems are diverse and still not mature, we cannot provide support for editing tools. We would, however, be interested in any feedback that could help us to refine this implementation in the future: send comments to MM2000@mulberrytech.com.
