Does XMDP provide a namespace for terms?
• Not quite. XMDP does provide a profile dictionary for terms, but not a namespace in the typical sense used for data (e.g. in XML) or programming language. One big difference is the way XMDP overrides work, as explained in http://gmpg.org/xmdp/description . Note that if two different profiles define the same term, only the first definition is used. Thus XMDP profiles are not “namespaces” in any data/programming functional way, as such namespaces make such multiple references exist simultaneously and distinctly by keeping them in their own silos.
