I thought I knew what a namespace was ... but now I think perhaps I don't.
Suppose that I create a DTD (BookCatalogue.dtd). In this DTD I define some
elements, attributes, entities, etc. I define the relationships between
the elements, attributes, etc. I place BookCatalogue.dtd in a directory:
file://localhost/xml-course/xml-part1/BookCatalogue.dtd
Is this a namespace? That is, is the file itself (BookCatalogue.dtd) a
namespace?
In all the examples that I see in the namespace spec they don't refer to a
specific file. Instead, they refer to "some place", such as:
http://www.w3.org/TR/HTML/
So, perhaps the "directory" that BookCatalogue.dtd resides in is the
namespace? i.e.,
file://localhost/xml-course/xml-part1/
I thought I knew the way, now I don't. Help me find my way again. /Roger
