Except that there is no guarantee you can get anything useful from the namespace URI (sadly, IMHO) - all the spec provides is that this is supposed to be a way to uniquely identify the thing referred to. And that requires you make up a namespace that won't get used by someone else, which is not necessarily possible to guarantee either :-( Charles McCN On Wed, 23 Feb 2000, Pierre-Antoine CHAMPIN wrote: Pete Cliff wrote: > How do I define the namespaces in the rslpcld schema?

If your RDF parser want more details about the properties you use, it will retrieve corresponding schemas ; whether it will store the whole schema or only triples related to the properties you use is an implementation choice, you can't mkae hypothesis on it.
