EpiDataBase

XML validation schemas for epigraphic data used in educational contexts.

Overview

This project provides validation schemas for epigraphic XML files, designed to help students learn XML structure and validation techniques.

Contents

• schema.xsd - XML Schema Definition for validating epigraphic XML documents
• epiData.dtd - Document Type Definition for epigraphic data validation

Purpose

These schemas are designed to validate epigraphic (inscription-related) XML files, allowing students to:

• Learn proper XML structure
• Understand schema and DTD validation
• Work with well-formed epigraphic data

Usage

Using XSD Validation

Reference the schema in your XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="schema.xsd">
    <!-- Your content here -->
</root>

Using DTD Validation

Reference the DTD in your XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "epiData.dtd">
<root>
    <!-- Your content here -->
</root>
