Just to follow-up on a previous thread (see below), I'd like to propose 
adding a new purpose (http://www.rddl.org/purposes#target) for RDDL.

The target of a RDDL document could then be documented (non normative 
example) as:

<rddl:resource id="target"
       xlink:type="simple"
       xlink:arcrole="http://www.rddl.org/purposes#target"
       xlink:role="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
       xlink:title="target namespace"
       xlink:href="http://example.org/my-namespace">
   <div class="resource">
      <h3>Target namespace</h3>
        <p>This RDDL document is describing the namespace
           <code>http://example.org/my-namespace</code>.</p>
   </div>
</rddl:resource>
