Parameter entities are simply a short-hand, local to a DTD. Thus
TITLETYP is simply a short-hand for the string "( AT | OT)". Therefore
the content model for WORKTITLE is actually:
<!ELEMENT WORKTITLE (TITLE+, LNGCDE?, (( AT | OT))+)>
after the DTD has been parsed. TITLETYP is not declared as an allowed
element type - hence the error. (Note also that you have a redundant
pair of brackets around "AT | OT".)
