I know what a "default namespace" is, but what is the purpose of a "target namespace".

Mike,

A default namespace is used to identify the namespace to be used as the namespace for elements within the XML document containing the default namespace declaration.

A target namespace is used in XML Schema to identify the namespace to which the document being described (i.e. the XML instance document) belongs.
