+<!-- DTD FOR the MATHEMATICAL QUERY MARKUP LANGUAGE (XMathQL) -->
+<!-- First draft: April 2002, Irene Schena -->
+<!-- Second draft: Agust 2002, Irene Schena -->
+<!--*****************************************************************-->
+
+<!--*****************************************************************-->
+<!-- This syntax is not convenient for humans to read and write, but -->
+<!-- it is for programs. -->
+<!-- XMathQL is useful for: -->
+<!-- 1) generating queries in a XML-orienting programming environment-->
+<!-- 2) embedding queries in XML documents -->
+<!-- 3) reusing queries saved in a standard format -->
+<!-- The syntax reflects the structure of the grammar productions of -->
+<!-- MathQL. -->
+<!-- Operators are unambiguous (binary or unary), so there isn't any -->
+<!-- grouping operator. -->
+<!-- CONST is the quoted constant string; rvar is for single -->
+<!-- reference and svar for sets of references, i.e. query results. -->
+<!-- The attributes binder, rvar, svar declare variables which are -->
+<!-- referred to and used by means of respectively BINDER, Rvar, Svar-->
+<!-- PROPERTY works on a specified RDF property returning its value. -->
