Creating an XML Compound Document and validating it with DTD*
1. Create 2 XML vocabularies teams.xml, for the team series, and cars.xml, for the cars available for the racing team based on the description provided in Figure 1.
(Note: You should show a minimum of 2 teams in teams.xml and for cars.xml, define each car which you define in teams.xml since both the namespaces shown below are connected to each other through ‘cars’. Also remember that one car can belong to more than 1 team. Don’t forget to include namespaces for both xml vocabularies. )

2. Create a souths.xml master document, see the file relationship in Figure 2 that:
a. Contains an internal DTD for the teams and cars name spaces;
b. Uses entities to read information from different documents into the compound document.
Figure 1: Structure of the compound document
Recommended Reading: Fig 2-14 on page 95
(Note: Both carID and teamID could be considered as required attributes and the elements of both team and cars could use PCDATA content model. Use ENTITY to make reference between the files. Related text: page 108 in the book.)
