| Glossary for
this source
Document profiles offer a means to
characterize the features appropriate to given categories of user
agents. For instance, one profile might include support for style
sheets, vector graphics and scripting, while another might be
restricted to the tags in HTML 3.2. Document profiles can be used
by servers to select between document variants developed for
different user agent categories. They can be used to determine what
transformations to apply when such variants are not available.
Content developers can use document profiles to ensure that their
Web sites will be rendered as intended.

From User Agent
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) |
Glossary for this
source
In this document, the term "document
source" refers to the data that the user agent receives as the
direct result of a request for a Web resource (e.g., as the result
of an HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] "GET", or as the result of viewing a
resource on the local file system). The document source generally
refers to the "payload" of the user agent's request, and does not
generally include information exchanged as part of the transfer
protocol. The document source is data that is prior to any repair
by the user agent (e.g., prior to repairing invalid markup). "Text
source" refers to the text portion of the document source.

a class of documents sharing a common
abstract structure. The ISO 8879 [SGML] definition is as follows:
"a class of documents having similar characteristics; for example,
journal, article, technical manual, or memo. (4.102)"a formal,
machine-readable expression of the XML structure and syntax rules
to which a document instance of a specific document type must
conform; the schema type used in XML 1.0 to validate conformance of
a document instance to its declared document type. The same markup
model may be expressed by a variety of DTDs.

From Extensible Markup Language
(XML) 1.1 (2004-02-04) |
Glossary for this
source
The XML document type declaration contains
or points to markup declarations that provide a grammar for a class
of documents. This grammar is known as a document type definition,
or DTD. The document type declaration can point to an external
subset (a special kind of external entity) containing markup
declarations, or can contain the markup declarations directly in an
internal subset, or can do both. The DTD for a document consists of
both subsets taken together.

Documentation refers to information that
supports the use of a user agent. This information may be found,
for example, in manuals, installation instructions, the help
system, and tutorials. Documentation may be distributed (e.g., some
parts may be delivered on CD-ROM, others on the Web). See guideline
12 for information about documentation requirements.

DOM (Document object model)

From Glossary of "Weaving the Web"

| Glossary for

Within a computer, information is often
organized as a set of "objects." When transmitted, it is sent as a
"document." The DOM is a W3C specification that gives a common way
for programs to access a document as a set of objects.

From Requirements
for String Identity Matching and String Indexing (1998-07-10) |
Glossary for this
source
A series of API definitions to access and
manipulate documents, both document structure and textual content.
Currently, APIs for basic functionality for HTML and XML, with
bindings to programming languages such as Java, ECMAScript, and C.
All string parameters in the APIs are defined as Unicode strings.
To assure consistent behavior of programs written in different
languages and running on different implementations, uniform
normalization and string indexing specifications are
necessary.

A DTD, or document type definition, is a
collection of XML markup declarations that, as a collection,
defines the legal structure, elements, and attributes that are
available for use in a document that complies to the DTD.

From Glossary of "Weaving the Web"
(1999-07-23)
| Glossary for
this source
In the SGML world, a DTD is a metadocument
containing information about how a given set of SGML tags can be
used. In the XML world this role will be taken over by a schema.
Sometimes, but arguably, "document type definition." See also
schema.
