ABSTRACT The Standard Generalized Markup Language, SGML, is being adopted by various international organizations as the medium for exchange of electronically encoded documents. An exchange is accomplished by way of a Document Type Definition, DTD, that describes the content of documents targeted for an exchange. In this paper we suggest guidelines for the designers of SGML DTDs. The guidelines emphasize uniformity and simiplcity without sacrificing expressive power.
