rdfs:comment
  • A namespace is a section of a wiki which contains multiple similar pages. Namespaces are shown with their name then a colon (:), then the name of the article. The mainspace is an exception to this rule, as it has nothing in front of the article's name.
  • A Namespace is positioned just above and at the top of a document or other file that contains the title or Name of the Object. Its purpose is to interface something like a page, image, script, variable, &..., song with its environment.
  • Namespaces are used to classify classes and other namespaces that perform a similar function. They can be used for example to disambiguate between classes that may have same names but different functions. For instance, a class named "Font" could be present in libraries for printing, displaying fonts on a monitor, etc. A Point may have different implementations depending on the context; one may be for graphing and another might be for window positioning. Namespaces are also commonly used in XML documents. In Java, packages are used to perform the same function.
