And hence they are broken. I have the domain www.jersey.com which has cool information about sweaters, so I define my namespace: <doc xmlns:j="http://www.jersey.com/schema"> <j:price>$100</j:price> </doc> so j:price identifies an RDF Schema Class. Here j:price means "price of a football jersey". The folk on the island get annoyed and buy my domain name for $100,000 (small island), and then they decide to create a schema for defining prices for tours of the island. They use the namespace: <doc xmlns:j="http://www.jersey.com/schema"> <j:price>100 pound</j:price> </doc> Does j:price now still identify the same RDF Schema Class as before?
