Is this a valid DTD?

[vvenk]

Hello:

I work in the pharma sector and there's an international standard for
exchange of safety information. The link, http://estri.ich.org/icsr/ich-icsr-v2_1_dtd.zip
has the dtd that defines this standard.

But on cursory review of the above DTD, it does not seem to conform to
the DTD structure.

I am using XMLSpy to create an XML document based on the DTD. But
XMLSpy is able to only identify XML and DOCTYPE elements and nothing
else.

XMLSpy warns me that the file is not well-formed.

For example, the first occurence of the ELEMENT is as follows:

<!ELEMENT ichicsr - - (ichicsrmessageheader, safetyreport
+)>

I believe It should not have the "- -".


Can somebody tell me if this DTD is valid?
