Example:
"DTD
Document Type Definition, Methode zur Schemaangabe für SGML- und XML-Dokumente. DTDs sind entweder im Dokument enthalten oder gehören zu seinem externen Bestand und werden anschließend aus der Dokumenttypdeklaration des Dokuments per URI referenziert. Zu den bekannten DTDs gehören DocBook, CML, IBTWSH und HTML. dtd2html erzeugt HTML-Dokumentation für SGML-DTDs. DTDs werden in Zukunft durch die neue XML-Schemaangabemethode ersetzt werden."

listing/table

'Bestand' (stock) is a bit strange in the context and it's not clear in what form this 'stock' is presented but I would think that listing or table is quite appropraite

database or data store or date file

The standard translation for Datenbestand is "database" - in this context I think data file would also be fine as other answers have suggested, but it is a slightly different concept to just a "Datei" (file).
