LIS 506 Assignment 5 - XML

Introduction

Use XML to store information about your book collection. Create a DTD file to define the structure of your XML document and name it myCollection.dtd. Your dtd definitions should be based on the following characteristics of bibliographic records and flexible enough to incorporate various possibilities:

• Title
• Contributor (there may be more than one contributor; there may be different types of the contributors (author, editor, illustrator …); a contributor may be a person, an organization or a service)
• Publisher
• Publication Year
• Subject (may include multiple keywords)
• Description
• Language

Your dtd should allow the option to show page number information in your xml, and any other optional information you would like to include.

Populate your XML document with at least 5 book instances and name it myCollection.xml. Validate it against your dtd definition using Dreamweaver. Create a CSS file to display your XML document and name it myCollection.css.

Post your three XML related documents in your UBUnix web space and place a link to them on your lis506 web page.
