document order

From Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Traversal and Range Specification (2000-11-13) | Glossary for this source

The term document order has the same meaning as depth first, pre-order traversal, which is equivalent to the order in which the start tags occur in the text representation of the document.
document profile

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15) | Glossary for this source

Document profiles offer a means to characterize the features appropriate to given categories of user agents. For instance, one profile might include support for style sheets, vector graphics and scripting, while another might be restricted to the tags in HTML 3.2. Document profiles can be used by servers to select between document variants developed for different user agent categories. They can be used to determine what transformations to apply when such variants are not available. Content developers can use document profiles to ensure that their Web sites will be rendered as intended.
document source, text source,

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

In this document, the term "document source" refers to the data that the user agent receives as the direct result of a request for a Web resource (e.g., as the result of an HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] "GET", or as the result of viewing a resource on the local file system). The document source generally refers to the "payload" of the user agent's request, and does not generally include information exchanged as part of the transfer protocol. The document source is data that is prior to any repair by the user agent (e.g., prior to repairing invalid markup). "Text source" refers to the text portion of the document source.
document style semantics and specification language (DSSSL)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source

A method of specifying the formatting and transformation of SGML documents. ISO International Standard 10179:1996.
document tree

From Glossary of Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 CSS2 Specification (1998-05-12) | Glossary for this source

document type

From Modularization of XHTML (2001-04-10) | Glossary for this source

a class of documents sharing a common abstract structure. The ISO 8879 [SGML] definition is as follows: "a class of documents having similar characteristics; for example, journal, article, technical manual, or memo. (4.102)"a formal, machine-readable expression of the XML structure and syntax rules to which a document instance of a specific document type must conform; the schema type used in XML 1.0 to validate conformance of a document instance to its declared document type. The same markup model may be expressed by a variety of DTDs.
document type declaration

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

The XML document type declaration contains or points to markup declarations that provide a grammar for a class of documents. This grammar is known as a document type definition, or DTD. The document type declaration can point to an external subset (a special kind of external entity) containing markup declarations, or can contain the markup declarations directly in an internal subset, or can do both. The DTD for a document consists of both subsets taken together.

document type definition (DTD)

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source

In SGML or XML, a DTD is a formal definition of the elements and the relationship among the data elements (the structure) for a particular type of document.

documentation

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

Documentation refers to information that supports the use of a user agent. This information may be found, for example, in manuals, installation instructions, the help system, and tutorials. Documentation may be distributed (e.g., some parts may be delivered on CD-ROM, others on the Web). See guideline 12 for information about documentation requirements.
DOM (Document object model)

From Glossary of "Weaving the Web" (1999-07-23) | Glossary for this source

Within a computer, information is often organized as a set of "objects." When transmitted, it is sent as a "document." The DOM is a W3C specification that gives a common way for programs to access a document as a set of objects.
DOM (Document object model, see http://www.w3.org/DOM/)

From Requirements for String Identity Matching and String Indexing (1998-07-10) | Glossary for this source

A series of API definitions to access and manipulate documents, both document structure and textual content. Currently, APIs for basic functionality for HTML and XML, with bindings to programming languages such as Java, ECMAScript, and C. All string parameters in the APIs are defined as Unicode strings. To assure consistent behavior of programs written in different languages and running on different implementations, uniform normalization and string indexing specifications are necessary.
hybrid document

From Modularization of XHTML (2001-04-10) | Glossary for this source
