I'm trying to learn xml and managed to nail the &quot;basics&quot; down, but I got passed the chapter on Namespaces and am doubting I understood it.<br><br>Here is what I got from the book.&nbsp;&nbsp;Namespaces are ways to seperate Joe's independant xml information from Bob's.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, if Joe was to write a rating on a list of movies, I could put in a namespace to point to Joe's ratings and another namespace to point to Bob's.<br><br>Assuming this is true, the URL/URI being called by the xmlns is what kind of document?&nbsp;&nbsp;Is is text, xml, or what?&nbsp;&nbsp;All the book does is defines what appears to be a directory or a file without an extension.<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>Jonathan
