Overview
XML Architecture & DTD/Schema Design Practice
The XML Architecture & DTD/Schema Design practice at Digital Rabbit is delivered as a premium, structured engagement. Rather than applying standard off-the-shelf scripts, we deploy a tailored environment mapping your specific digital publishing layouts, EPUB3 reflowable configurations, and XML/DTD schema compilations. Each program begins with a 2-week diagnostic audit to outline current-state gaps, security parameters, and target milestones, backed by a fixed-fee proposal under NDA.
Our delivery model pairs a named Partner with a dedicated Delivery Lead and specialized subject matter experts. The team executes workflows in structured sprints using automated WCAG compliance scanning, dyslexia-friendly typography adjustments, and multi-device QA checks. You maintain complete visibility into catalog backlogs, data pipelines, and performance scorecards through weekly written statuses.
Over 60% of our engagements run as ongoing managed-operations retainers. We take day-to-day accountability for operating the data syncs, compliance checks, or code updates we established. All digital documents are hand-coded to meet Section 508, PDF/UA, and WCAG 2.2 AAA accessibility specifications. Quarterly executive reviews align delivery against your bottom-line business metrics.
