Some typical scenarios


  1. Make up your own DTD
    • ... starting from scratch
    • ... by combining components from one or more pre-existing conceptual frameworks (aka architecture or namespace)
  2. Customize a pre-existing DTD
    • definitions should be meaningful within a given user community
    • declarations should be appropriate to a given set of applications

The TEI is a good candidate for the second approach
