The Resource Directory Description Language (RDDL): What goes at the end of a namespace URI?

The Resource Directory Description Language (RDDL) [RDDL] was created to answer the question of what ought a namespace URI reference? RDDL uses an XHTML [XHTML Basic] format in which resource elements are embedded. Each resource element contains a simple XLink referencing the related resource. The use of URIs as a mechanism of namespace partitioning has been controversial and confusing for several reasons: 1. For the computer science community: XML namespaces differ from traditional namespaces as traditional namespaces conventionally refer to a set whereas XML namespaces more properly refer to an unbounded partition 2. For the web community: Use of URIs which can be resolved (i.e URLs) suggests that XML namespace identifiers 'point to something' yet no guidance is provided on what they ought reference. RDDL [Resource Directory Description Language] is simple, addresses both of these issues, and works with the current Web infrastructure. The Resource Directory Description Language is an extension of W3C XHTML Basic 1.0 with an added element named resource. This element serves as an XLink to the referenced resource, and contains a human-readable description of the resource and machine readable links which describe the purpose of the link and the nature of the resource being linked to. The nature of the resource being linked to is indicated by the xlink:role attribute and the purpose of the link is indicated by the xlink:arcrole attribute. The rddl:resource element is defined as: <!ATTLIST rddl:resource
