It means that you have a standardized way (RDF) of describing any
properties you may wish them to have, such as:

	owner of the namespace

	timestamp indicating when the namespace was created

	human-readable documentation about the names in the namespace

> What is the resource nature of a namespace?

X is a resource iff:  1) X has an identity function (clouds are out,e.g.)
and 2) there is an URI that identifies X.
