The DTD has been updated to include several minor changes.
The XML "Document Type Definition" (DTD) for HDF5 is the standard DTD to describe HDF5 files and their contents. This DTD should be used by all applications that describe HDF5 files with XML.
For a discussion of how HDF5 files are represented in XML see: Development notes
This DTD is still under development. We encourage developers and users to use the DTD and send us feedback and discussion.
The DTD itself is available at the following URI:
/HDF5/XML/DTD/HDF5-File.dtd
