Finding the target of a RDDL document
Sorry to ask such a trivial question, but if I read a RDDL document, how can I find its target? For instance, how can I tell that http://www.openhealth.org/RDDL/ is describing the http://www.rddl.org/ namespace? This is pretty clear if I am an English speaking human user, but shouldn't it made clear for programs as well? I like RDDL a lot, but I am wondering if it's not misusing simple XLink here since after http://www.rddl.org/ has been redirected to http://www.openhealth.org/RDDL/ , my understanding is that when I read: <rddl:resource xlink:type="simple" xlink:title="RDDL Natures" xlink:role="http://www.rddl.org/" xlink:arcrole="http://www.rddl.org/purposes#directory" xlink:href="http://www.rddl.org/natures" > <div class="resource"> <p>It is anticipated that many related-resource natures will be well known. A list of well-known natures may be found in the RDDL directory <a href="http://www.rddl.org/natures">http://www.rddl.org/natures</a>.</p> </div> </rddl:resource> this is describing a link between the rddl:resource element of the http://www.openhealth.org/RDDL/ XML document and the document http://www.rddl.org/natures rather than a link between http://www.rddl.org/ and http://www.rddl.org/natures. We could workaround this by adding a new element (rddl:target for instance) to indicate the target namespace but it would still be a nasty hack IMO. This seems like a useful thing to do anyway since the meaning of a RDDL document shouldn't change just because I am using a local copy on my disk... Or have I missed something?
