Abstract
We describe an initiative under way at Warwick to provide a technical foundation for computer-aided learning and computer-assisted assessment tools, which allows a rich dialogue sensitive to individual students' response patterns. The system distinguishes between dialogues for individual problems and the linking of problems. This enables a subject specialist to craft individual questions and units of learning material, while allowing the order of presentation of the units to depend on a student's interaction history. We develop a markup language, specified as an XML DTD, to enable the storage of data for use in such systems.

Graph transformation to infer schemata from XML documents
SAC '05: Proceedings of the 2005 ACM symposium on Applied computingSemi-structured data are characterized by the lack of a predefined schema. This heterogeneity simplifies the management of such data, but analysis and queries become more difficult and demand for schemata that describe these data. Super-imposed ...
DTD-Diff: A change detection algorithm for DTDs
The DTD of a set of XML documents may change due to many reasons such as changes to the real-world events, changes to the user's requirements, and mistakes in the initial design. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm called DTD-Diff to detect the ...
A Java-based framework to support computer-assisted creation of structured XML documents
In the management of document-based information, the structure of the document itself is very important. In the XML world you can use a DTD (Document Type Definition) or XMLSchema to define that structure. But not everything can be described (and forced)...
