There's a RDDL for a *namespace*. Hmm... at this point I'm not convinced that *namespaces* per se exist. RDDL seems to me to describe usage rules for identifiers with a particular namespace label... but then I don't really believe in resources per se either[1]. Nor the Easter Bunny, nor Santa Claus. (Love the candy and presents, though!) As much as I hate to think about namespace issues, I'm not sure that describing namespaces as things (reifying them, in one sense of the word) makes much sense.
