name

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (2000-10-06) | Glossary for this source

A Name is a token beginning with a letter or one of a few punctuation characters, and continuing with letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, colons, or full stops, together known as name characters.
name expression

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

When an expression is used to specify the name of a constructed node, that expression is called the name expression of the constructor.
name test

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A node test that consists only of a QName or a Wildcard is called a name test.
name test

From XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A node test that consists only of a QName or a Wildcard is called a name test.
named class

From OWL Web Ontology Language Guide (2004-02-10) | Glossary for this source

an OWL class with an associated identifier
named template

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

Templates can be invoked by name. An xsl:template element with a name attribute defines a named template.
namespace

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15) | Glossary for this source

A qualifier added to an XML tag to ensure uniqueness among XML elements.
namespace declaration

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A namespace declaration declares a namespace prefix and associates it with a namespace URI, adding the (prefix, URI) pair to the set of statically known namespaces.
namespace declaration attribute

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A namespace declaration attribute is used inside a direct element constructor. Its purpose is to bind a namespace prefix or to set the default element/type namespace for the constructed element node, including its attributes.
namespace document

From Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One (2004-12-15) | Glossary for this source

An information resource identified by an XML Namespace URI that contains useful information, machine-usable and/or human-usable, about terms in a particular XML namespace. It is useful, though not manditory, that the URI employed as a namespace name identifies a namespace document.
namespace fixup

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

The rules for the individual XSLT instructions that construct a result tree (see ) prescribe some of the situations in which namespace nodes are written to the tree. These rules, however, are not sufficient to ensure that the prescribed constraints are always satisfied. The XSLT processor must therefore add additional namespace nodes to satisfy these constraints. This process is referred to as namespace fixup.
namespace name

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

For a name N in a namespace identified by an IRI I, the namespace name is I. For a name N that is not in a namespace, the namespace name has no value.
namespace name

From Namespaces in XML (1999-01-14) | Glossary for this source

The attribute's value, a URI reference, is the namespace name identifying the namespace.
namespace prefix

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

If the attribute name matches PrefixedAttName, then the NCName gives the namespace prefix, used to associate element and attribute names with the namespace name in the attribute value in the scope of the element to which the declaration is attached.
namespace prefix

From Namespaces in XML (1999-01-14) | Glossary for this source

If the attribute name matches PrefixedAttName, then the NCName gives the namespace prefix, used to associate element and attribute names with the namespace name in the attribute value in the scope of the element to which the declaration is attached.
namespace-sensitive

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A value is namespace-sensitive if it includes an item whose dynamic type is xs:QName or xs:NOTATION or is derived by restriction from xs:QName or xs:NOTATION.
namespace-valid

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

A namespace-well-formed document is namespace-valid if it is valid according to the XML 1.1 specification, and all tokens other than element and attribute names which are REQUIRED, for XML 1.1 validity, to match the XML production for Name, match this specification's production for NCName.
namespace-validating

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

A validating XML processor that conforms to this specification is namespace-validating if in addition it reports violations of namespace validity.
