DTD-based and XSD-based contracts
WebSphere Commerce supports contracts based on two models: DTD-based contracts and XSD-based contracts. You can use the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator to manage both DTD-based contracts and XSD-based contracts. Imported contracts can be either DTD or XSD based, but contracts will be exported in the XSD format.
