Standard DTDs/Templates

Hey,

I am relatively new in the XML field. I am designing a database for a project on the events recorded from oceans.

Someone told me that there is an international agency that has defined some standard DTDs/Templates for XML and one should design the database according to them. My database is storing information obtained from buoys located at the Gulf of Maine and the information is like salanity at different depths, wind speed and direction, pressure at different depths etc.

I did some google searching but was not able to find anything related to this. It would be a great help if you could provide me with a link to the site where they store such information or the name of the agency or something helpful.

Thanks and Regards

Potential error in E37 of the latest errata for XSLT 1.0


Hi,

In E37 (http://www.w3.org/1999/11/REC-xslt-19991116-errata/),
Section 11.5; a sentence was changed to:
"In this case, the binding is visible for the descendants of all
following siblings that are not xsl:fallback instructions". 
This means that a local variable is not visible to its siblings,
but only the descendants of those siblings. Since I cannot think
of an XSLT 1.0 processor which rejects the following example, I
wonder if this is a bug in the errata.

<xsl:template match="foo">
  <xsl:varible name="bar" select="'bar'"/>
  <!-- According to the modified definition the following should
       raise an error, since $bar is not visible to the
       xsl:value-of sibling of xsl:variable.
  -->
  <xsl:value-of select="$bar"/>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Kasimier
