(XML) Namespaces are artifacts of the RDF/XML serialization and are not in the current model. From M&S: [[ RDF also requires the XML namespace facility to precisely associate each property with the schema that defines the property; ... ]] [[ Property names must be associated with a schema. This can be done by qualifying the element names with a namespace prefix to unambiguously connect the property definition with the corresponding RDF schema or by declaring a default namespace as specified in [NAMESPACES]. ]] [[ In RDF, each predicate used in a statement must be identified with exactly one namespace, or schema. ]] Brian
