RE: XML namespaces and RDF

Dear Max

Namespace prefixes in XML are not concatenated to the names in the way that you do it below. Instead they form a tuple (namespace-uri, local-name).

There are different expanded name notations being used, such as {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}dayTimeDuration, which is non-dereferencable, or http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dayTimeDuration which can be.

Best regards
Michael

Hi public-qt-comments,

  in http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-datamodel/#notation
  it says:
----
The following bindings are assumed.
xs: bound to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
----

  This implies from XML namespace rules that e.g.
  xs:dayTimeDuration  expands to
  http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemadayTimeDuration
  which is not a dereferencable URI.

Is   this correct and intended? For RDF, one uses usually namespace declarations
that end with "/" or "#".

Kind Regards,
Max
