While the conversation has primarily focused on the Company (Organization) level, it is my experience working with the Fortune 500 that the same name is often used differently between departments/functions. Then considering buying/selling of other divisions/companies that periodically occurs, the Namespace mechanism must be fluid.

Put the definitions in place by performance, not uberNamespace. It has to breathe, my friends, like a good well performed piece of music, it has to breathe. The standards wonks really need to study management and contract negotiation. OASIS and BIZTALK are the absolute wrong way to do this. This means a marvelous lucrative opportunity is sitting there being ignored. Someone or some company will get rich off this if they go to these companies and demonstrate the right way to do this. len xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
