WORDML - how to create the "ns0:" references 1

[bobk5444]

hello in this article on namespaces:

http://atmanes.blogspot.com/2006/07/short-explanation-of-xml-namespaces.html

the presenter is using label reference:
targetNamespace="urn:example:foo:1">
i think to generate the ns0: ns1: namespace labels i believe.

Can anyone tell me where that urn:.... is located or is that a static reference?

also sometime i will see others us a URL like

http://test.com/abc

or such
can you tell me where that URL would be pointing too? would that be on someones c: local drive somewhere like in an IIS directory or?

what i'm really trying to do is using the appropriate tool to assign a ns0:abc to a schema element in WORDML and i think i need to use a targetnamespace or something like above to do that...and i would then us that ns0: labeled element in an VB xquery refrence

thanks for any help on this
bk

thanks very much

It is not to "generate". I mean that the (schema) document is to describe the vacabulary of the namespace "urn:example:foo:1". The prefix ns0: and ns1: have meaning only locally, local to the document itself.

>Can anyone tell me where that urn:.... is located or is that a static reference?
It is located nowhere. It is just a unique identifier, supposedly in conformance with the format as detailed in the rfc3986 (entailing its series in the past which it is supposed to be superceding.)

>also sometime i will see others us a URL like

http://test.com/abc

or such

Same logic: it is not pointing to any physical resource(s) anywhere. It is just an identifier.

>what i'm really trying to do is using the appropriate tool to assign a ns0:abc to a schema element in WORDML...
Meaning? if ns0 is pointing (locally) to the WORDML's namespace, abc should be an element describe in the schema proper to WORDML. That's all you need.
