Simple Example of Aggregating Modifiers in DTDs

Suppose you want a book element to always contain exactly one title element and any number of author elements. The title and author elements contain only raw data. To accomplish this, you would perform steps that generate the following tree representation:


book Sequence title One or More author title Zero or More #PCDATA author Zero or More #PCDATA

In the book element definition, Sequence modifies book and OneorMore modifies Sequence. Because the title element immediately follows the Sequence modifier, the default occurrence rule is assumed. That is, the title element must appear exactly once. In the Text view of the DTD, the definition for the book element is as follows:

<!ELEMENT book (title, (author)+)>
