The namespace URI is simply a unique prefix that can be shared by a
collection of names -- it is not guaranteed to point to anything at
all (some people wanted to *forbid* it from pointing to anything), nor
is it guaranteed that all names with the same prefix are defined by
the same schema (or by any explicit schema).

I'd recommend starting with DCD, which is newer.


All the best,
