This article describes an application of (a simple subset of) XML that can be used to represent such a database. The description of the database above suggests a simple nesting of fields inside records inside tables inside databases.
Here is an example of a single database with two tables:
<!doctype mydata "http://www.w3.org/mydata">
<mydata>

If you like to edit XML by hand, with the help of a text editor, you can of course use some pretty-printing to make things easier to recognize.
Here is the example:
<!doctype mydata "http://www.w3.org/mydata">
