PhotoBook DTD definition for XML data

Photobook

Photobook is DTD for XML which is intended to store information about particular photo. Photos can be grouped into books therefore the name Photobook.

All it started when I was thinking how to store and organize my scanned photos. The requirements were:

• platform independence
• non-binary format which will became unsupported after few years, thus unusable
• easy to read and process by many external tools

XML fulfills all these requirements. It's platform independent, it's text format (so even if XML will be long forgotten, it will still be readable) and there exists lot of software for processing XML files (you can read XML with your browser).
