Hi Lenya devs,
it would be very convenient to reference meta data elements using a
"combined" name, including namespace URI and element name. But unlike
the qualified names in XML, it should not be necessary to declare a
prefix. Some purposes would be
- i18n message keys
- search index field names
James Clark introduced the notion of "universal names" [1]:
{http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/}title
Another option would be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
which might be a bit easier to parse.
Does someone know an established convention for combining namespaces and
local names? TIA!
