the v nemaespace prefix from Liam Quin on 2001-01-01 (www-rdf-comments@w3.org from January to March 2001) (original) (raw)

A number of examples in http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-rdf-syntax/ use an undeclared namespace prefix, e.g. s: in 2.2.1: <s:Creator xmlns:s="http://description.org/schema/">Ora Lassila </RDF

(I assume this should be associated with www.purl.org/dc/elements/1.1) and v: in several examples, including section 2.2.2: rdf:RDF <rdf:Description about="http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila"> <s:Creator rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/staffId/85740" v:Name="Ora Lassila" v:Email="lassila@w3.org" />

Here s: is again undeclared, but I assume it's Dublin Core. I'd suggest using dc: for that, for clarity, but s: is fine too :-)

But what is v: ?

Also, we have later, xmlns:s="http://description.org/schema/", where description.org is the web page for a charity in aid of people woth regenerative retina disorder (a form of partial-sightedness).

I assume description.org was meant to be an illustrative example??? Or is this an error?

Thanks,

Lee
