Take a look at the Corpus Encoding Standard, CES, and its XML version,
XCES:
http://www.cs.vassar.edu/CES/CES1.html
This is much better suited for what you want to do than DocBook.
CES is a conformant implementation of TEI, which was suggested in
another response. TEI is huge: it dwarfs DocBook and most other DTDs
I've seen.
