Example DTD : 

Example DTD COURSE FORMAT : ID ::::: COURSE NAME, YEAR, SEMESTER   List of courses, for Student accounts ====================================== 1 ::::: Computer Systems and Networking (Curtin) Year 1 Semester 1 2 ::::: Computer Systems and Networking (Curtin) Year 1 Semester 2 3 ::::: Computer Systems and Networking (Curtin) Year 2 Semester 1 4 ::::: Computer Systems and Networking (Curtin) Year 2 Semester 2 5 ::::: Computer Systems and Networking (Curtin) Year 3 Semester 1 6 ::::: Computer Systems and Networking (Curtin) Year 3 Semester 2

Example DTD – Contd. : 

Example DTD – Contd. <!DOCTYPE accounts [ <!ELEMENT account ( username, password, email, administrator?, lecturer?, student? ) > <!ELEMENT accounts ( account+ ) > <!ELEMENT administrator ( name ) > <!ELEMENT courses ( id+ ) > <!ELEMENT email ( #PCDATA ) > <!ELEMENT id ( #PCDATA ) > <!ELEMENT lecturer ( name, lecturer_id, modules ) > <!ELEMENT lecturer_id ( #PCDATA ) > <!ELEMENT modules ( id+ ) > <!ELEMENT name ( #PCDATA ) > <!ELEMENT password ( #PCDATA ) > <!ELEMENT student ( name, student_id, courses ) > <!ELEMENT student_id ( #PCDATA ) > <!ELEMENT username ( #PCDATA ) > ] >
