National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the d
17、evelopment of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-gover
18、nmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task o
19、f the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vot

For a variety
24、 of reasons, both technical and economic, many users of XML for document-centric applications, especially among those who were previously (and in some cases continue to be) users of SGML, still favour the use of DTD language for grammar-based schema definition in such applications. It is important t
25、o provide users that have made a significant investment in DTDs with a migration path that will enable them to adopt ISO/IEC 19757 without having to translate all their existing DTDs to a different schema language, especially as this would oblige them to replace all systems that only work with DTDs,
26、 with all the expense and organizational upheavals thereby entailed. A sensible migration path should enable such users to continue to use DTDs for as much of the document validation process as can reasonably be managed, but also enable them to reap the benefits of using those parts of ISO/IEC 19757
27、 that most obviously complement and extend the use of DTDs for validation purposes. It is equally important that the migration path should enable users to continue to use legacy systems that are incapable of using any kind of extension to the DTD language, while at the same time introducing new syst
28、ems that are equipped to use such extensions. The method of extension will therefore be such that DTDs with extended functionality are valid XML DTDs in accordance with W3C XML. It should remain possible to validate an instance that does not make any use of the extended functionality against a DTD t
29、hat contains the extended functionality, using legacy system tools, and achieve the same result as would be achieved if the DTD did not contain the extended functionality. The most significant validation tasks that cannot be performed using a DTD alone are validation of names with respect to namespa
30、ces, validation of data content and attribute values with respect to datatypes, rules-based validation. Of these three, the last is made possible by implementation of ISO/IEC 19757-3. The first two tasks are currently only possible if ISO/IEC 19757-2 is implemented, but existing DTD users are unlike
31、ly to wish to maintain parallel RELAX NG and DTD schemas for each application simply as a means of supporting the use of namespaces and datatypes. For these reasons this part of ISO/IEC 19757 addresses the extension of DTDs to support the declaration of namespaces and datatypes.BS ISO/IEC 19757-9:20

33、e declaration in Document Type Definitions (DTDs) 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 19757 defines a language that is designed to extend the declarative functionality of an XML DTD to include declaring one or more namespaces to which some or all of the element and attribute names in a DTD belong, declarin
34、g constraints on the content of elements with content model ANY to contain elements whose names belong to one or more specified namespaces, declaring datatypes for elements that contain data content only and for attribute values. Two alternative syntax bindings for this language are defined. The fir
35、st syntax binding uses XML processing instructions and is designed to enable declarations in this language to be embedded within an XML DTD without invalidating the DTD or altering its interpretation so far as legacy DTD parsers are concerned. This first syntax also provides a means of associating a
36、 DTD with an external declarations subset containing declarations in either syntax. This syntax is defined in Clause 4 using the modified BNF syntax notation used in W3C XML. The second syntax binding uses an XML document syntax and is defined in Clause 5. The syntax rules are defined by a schema th
37、at conforms to the RELAX NG Compact Syntax defined in ISO/IEC 19757-2. This syntax is designed to enable declarations in this language to be expressed almost entirely in XML (in this case one XML processing instruction needs to be inserted in the DTD), to facilitate implementation using existing XML
38、 tools, either as a namespace-qualified fragment embedded within an XML instance or as a separate XML document. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
