Re: Question about namespace

Hi people,
 
As the topic here is namespace, let me ask a question. If a namespace isn't necessarily an URL (it isn't necessary to be a physical location), how can anyone discover the concepts declared in an ontology? I mean, how can I use a specicified vocabulary defined in any place in Web if I can't find it? 
 
And, also, how can we be sure that namespaces will not conflict, I mean, that two diferent users will not put an igual namespace for different documents?
 
Thank you in advance,
Tatiana.

Hi Dylon -

That namespace URL isn't real, and it has never existed. It is only
mentioned in the grounding documentation here:
http://www.daml.org/services/owl-s/1.1/owl-s-wsdl.html
and I assume that is where you found it.

In there it is just "made up" for purposes of the examples, similarly to
how many documents use "www.example.com" as a made-up namespace.

Sorry if this has caused any confusion.

- David Martin
