FGDC Biological Data Profile Metadata DTD '$Id: nbii-fgdc-std-001.1-1999.xsd,v 1.5 2000-02-29 17:58:09 jones Exp $' This is the Document Type Declaration (DTD) for metadata conforming to the Biological Data Profile of the Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata. This DTD corresponds to the October, 1999 version of the standard, FGDC-STD-001.1-1999, which can be retrieved at "http://www.fgdc.gov". It was derived from the DTD "FGDC Metadata DTD 3.0.1 19990611", and contains any errors in that document in regards to compliance with FGDC-STD-001-1998. Authors: Matthew B.

This DTD corresponds to the June, 1998 version of the standard, FGDC-STD-001-1998. This file is the XML DTD. Tags: Tags are a maximum of 8-characters long, to coincide with the Reference Concrete Syntax. In some systems, this will obviate the need for an explicit SGML declaration. Entity sets: Scalar values (meaning the values of elements that are not compound) are here declared #PCDATA to allow parsers to recognize and support entities representing special characters such as the degree symbol, less, and greater. Element ordering: Generally the order of elements is now significant. XML makes it difficult to write a DTD that allows elements to be in any order. Authors: Peter N.

Revisions: 19990611 (PNS) Removed extinfo from content model of metadata. Removed SGML entity declarations, replaced with Latin-1 entity declarations from HTML.
