I am developing an RDF schema for Collection Descriptions (call it rslpcld) that is made up of a number of properties from a number of other schema - for example it is defined in terms of: dc:title, dc:identifier, dcq:location, cld:strength, cld:accessControl, vcard:voice, etc. but does not use ALL the attributes in any one schema. How do I define the namespaces in the rslpcld schema? My initial thought is to include a "xmlns:" line for each of the schemas used. However if this simply "#includes" the properties of other schema into the rslpcld schema then the rslpcld schema would be defined in terms of a number of undesirable properties. My second thought is to copy the relevant property definitions from their source locations into the rslpcld schema. However, this leaves a problem of version control. If I copied, for example, dc:identifier and subsequently the dc:identifier definition changes, the copy used as part of the rslpcld schema is out of date. Any advice would be welcome...
