The namespace defines a class or a facet that a tag belongs to (&#39;geo&#39;, &#39;flickr&#39;, etc.), and the predicate is the name of the property for a namespace (&#39;latitude&#39;, &#39;user&#39;, etc).<br /></p><p>&#160;</p><p>&#160;</p> http://mhausenblas.blogr.com/stories/1049400/ Thu, 25 Jan 2007 19:55:00 +0100 mhausenblas
