So I am taking a summer course on XML and it moves very quickly so I just want to make sure I am understanding it before moving on. I would really appreciate it if someone that is good with XML would take a look at this and let me know if there are any glaring errors?
Assignment Description
CS 366 Homework 1 (Due to Dropbox by 8:00PM 7/18/2013)
50 Points
Note that the bold faced terms form the vocabulary of this XML application document.
Part I. Well-Formedness (25pts)
Create a well-formed XML document for a mock Fall 2018 computer
science courses listed in Table 1. The requirements and
structure of the document is defined as follows.
1. The document should begin with the XML declaration. The version
is 1.0, and the encoding UTF-8.
2. The document should be well-formed.
3. Define your own namespace and declare it as your default namespace.
4. The child elements of an element must appear in the order as described in the following.
5.The root element is
courses. The child element of the root is
course.
6. Each course consists of one
title and one or more
section child elements, and has attributes course
number and number of
credits.
7. Each section consists of one
enrollment, one
date, zero or one
days, zero or one
time, zero or one
room, and at least one
instructor child elements.
8. The room element has a
campus attribute.
9. Each section also has a section
number, an
id, and a type of
delivery attributes. The value of the delivery attribute is one of
Classroom,
Online, or
ITV.
10. The date element consists of two child elements,
startDate and
endDate.
11. The time element consists of two child elements,
startTime and
endTime.
12. Each instructor has a first name and last name. That is, the instructor element has two child elements
first and
last.
13. Include documentation (i.e., comments) in your XML file.
14. The bold-face words constitute our vocabulary.
Tip: It helps to first draw the hierarchy of information for the document.
At this point, make sure your XML document is well-formed before starting Part II.
Part II. Validation with DTD (25pts)
The objective of Part II is to learn how to validate the XML document using DTD. The XML document is based on the one in Part I.
The requirements and structure of the document is defined as follows.
1. In the XML file, use the relative path, not full path, to declare the location of the DTD file.
2. Include documentation (i.e.,comments) in your files.
3. DTD requirements
a. Use external DTD.
b. Follow the cardinality requirements specified in Part I.
c. Every attribute is required.
d.
id of a section has the type ID.
e. The value of
delivery is one of
Classroom,
Online, or
ITV.
f. Declare an internal general entity for the instructor element for Chi-Cheng Lin and reference it in the XML file. You need to modify the XML file.
g. Define the type of
date element in another DTD file. Declare an external parameter entity for the date element type and reference it in your main DTD file.
h. You might need to “cheat” in the DTD by defining the default namespace as an attribute although it is not.
Submission
Files to submit include
1. XML file
2. Main DTD file
3. DTD file for the parameter entity
Please zip them into one file and submit the zipped file to D2L Dropbox.
If you cannot make entities work for you, submit a “fallback,” working version without using entities. Note that a submission that is not well-formed and/or invalid is much worse than a working one that fails to meet the entity requirement.
