User’s Manual Meta Information
109
The administrator specifies these messages by writing an XML DD
(Document Description) file in a text editor. This file is then saved on
an FTP server and the AXIS 7000 will be configured to retrieve the
XML DD file from the specified FTP server. See “Retrieving the XML
DD file” on page 127.
Note:
XML DD file The XML DD (Document Description) file specifies what the user will
be prompted for, and the format and contents of the output
information file. The file is limited to a size of 50 000 bytes. The AXIS
MetaData DTD defines the syntax of the XML DD file. For more
information see “Meta Information DTD” on page 145.
The built in html-based XML parser can be used for validating an XML
DD file. This enables the administrator to verify that the XML DD file
used for Meta Information is correct before setting up the whole
environment.
Note:

functionality. The examples are complete with XML DD files. For more

http://www.axis.com/products/axis_7000/
Note:
You can write the XML DD file in any text editor although it is recommended that you
download a Freeware XML writer with XML validation. There a several XML writers
available in the AXIS 7000 Developer section at http://www.axis.com
This functionality is only for the validation of an XML DD file. Nothing of the parsed XML
DD file will be used or stored in any way.
