==Introduction==
XML documents often rely on Document Type Definitions (DTDs). While parsing a document with BaseX, entities Entities can be resolved with respect to that particular DTD. By default, the DTD is only used for entity resolution.
XHTML, for example, defines its doctype via the following line:
Fetching <code>xhtml1-strict.dtd</code> obviously involves network traffic. When dealing with single files, this may seem tolerable, but importing large collections benefits from caching these resources. Depending on the remote server, you will experience significant speed improvements when caching DTDs locally.
To address these issues, the [https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14809/xml-catalogs.html XML Catalogs Standard] defines an entity catalog that maps both external identifiers and arbitrary URI references to URI references.
