Question

which namespace does element belong to in XML?

Answer 1

+5 A:

If there is no default namespace declaration in scope, the namespace name has no value. The namespace name for an unprefixed attribute name always has no value. In all cases, the local name is local part (which is of course the same as the unprefixed name itself).

So the namespace here is actually the empty string "".

Cool @Johannes, 1. So in my sample Information element is not belonging to any namespace, correct? 2. Are there any ways to use XML schema to check against such kinds of elements?

Another quick question, about terminology, should I call element like Information in my sample, A. Not belongint to any namespace or B. belong to no namespace or C. Local element?

I have no idea of your second question. You might need to wait until somebody comes along who knows. And I'm not that well-versed in XML currently to answer the question in your second comment, sorry. Digging up specs is easy, but actually knowing stuff is not :-)

Hi Johannes, I asked a couple of questions, which one do you mean my second question?

George2 2009-04-20 07:57:21

The one with a 2 in front of it: »2. Are there any ways to use XML schema to check against such kinds of elements?«. You already have a chronological total order on the questions you ask, so the second one is actually quite uniquely identified :)

@Johannes, so you could answer all my other questions except 2? :-)

George2 2009-04-20 08:08:28

No, I could answer your first and only your first question. And that's what I did.
