Altova Mailing List Archives


Are there standard namespaces that don't need URIs?

As I am learning about XML I seen that xmlns is used with a colon after 
it as if it were a namespace itself. However, I have never seen a URI 
given for it. Is "xmlns" a sort of predefined word in that all XML 
software just knows what it means without it needing a URI?

Are there any more of these special words that need no definition within 
any schema? I know there are other special words like "element" and 
"targetNamespace" but these seem to be defined within the XML Schema 
schema definition. It seems that only "xmlns" must be known before 
anything else can be known.

Am I totally missing the boat on this or what?
