Document Structure Description, or DSD, is a schema language for XML, that is, a language for describing valid XML documents. It's an alternative to DTD or the W3C XML Schema. An example of DSD in its simplest form: http://www.brics.dk/DSD/2.0" xmlns:my="http://example.com"> This says that element named "foo" in the XML namespace "http://example.com" may have two attributes, named "first" and "second".
