 Cover Pages: XML Schemas for the NCBI Molecular Biology Data Model.
NCBI earlier "added support for XML output to its ASN.1 toolkit such that an ASN.1 specification could be automatically rendered into an XML DTD; data encoded in ASN.1 can then be output automatically in XML which will validate against the DTD using standard XML tools."
Roughly ten years ago, NCBI chose a language called Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) for describing and exchanging information in a manner similar to the ways XML is now used.
What is called the NCBI DTD actually only specifies the basic data structures for publications, sequences, maps, alignments, and structures.
