The HDF5 XML DTD, or <i>document type definition</i>, is the definition of a
markup language to describe the contents of an HDF5 file.
This DTD specifies a standard for using XML to describe the structure
and contents of a single HDF5 file. The DTD can be used in a variety
of ways, by standard software and by application-specific software
that builds on standard XML features. The DTD will enable descriptions
of HDF5 files to be used with and translated to other similar
XML markup languages.
