It is also useful to handle shared directories like share/sgml and -share/xml. +XML Catalog Manager (xmlcatmgr in its short form) is a small utility used +to manipulate SGML and XML catalogs. It is extremely small and lightweight, +specially designed to be run from packaging systems. Basically, it allows +adding and removing entries from catalogs in a completely automated way. -XML catalogs are files that contain mappings from public identifiers to -system identifiers. This allows XML parsers to locate public identifiers -in the local system. +A catalog is a lookup mechanism used to translate entities into other +different entities. They can, for example, map public identifiers to +local files or URIs. This allows you to tell the parser where to look +for entities without having to modify the original document source. |
