| Abstract | Document Type Definition (DTD) design deals with the specification of the structure or
schema of an SGML/XML document. Similar to information system and database design, it
requires a lot of efforts and expertise as well as a good methodology. This research applies the
notion of design patterns used in software engineering to DTD design.
DTD design patterns can be created by employing either a top-down approach by which a
pattern is derived from information requirements captured from users or a bottom-up approach
by which a pattern is generalized from a set of concrete DTDs. A pattern is represented in
terms of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). A DTD suitable for a specific application
can then be generated from an appropriate DTD design pattern by means of its specialization
resulting in its reuse. Both the generalization of concrete DTDs and the specialization of DTD
design patterns are systematically guided by the WordNet which is an ontology or thesaurus of
concepts. The proposed approach of DTD design is applied to a case study in order to
demonstrate its effectiveness. |
