Sticking (for a while longer ;-)) with my (quite possibly misguided)
notion that a "DCMI Namespace" is not an XML Namespace, I'm quite happy
with the notion that the RDFS document found at the XML Namespace URI is
a representation of the "DCMI Namespace" (in the sense of term set,
vocabulary, ontology...) and its constitutent terms (where those terms
are DC elements (not XML elements), DC element refinements, encoding
schemes). And that "DCMI Namespace" is our "defining resource" as far as
rdfs:isDefinedBy goes.
I'm less sure what I expect a representation of an _XML_ Namespace to
look like because an XML Namespace is just a collection of names used in
an XML document. (OK, following Jon's point about modes in XSLT,
possibly names for something other than element type names and attribute
names, but it's still just a set of names for use in an XML document.)
Maybe an XML Schema is closer to a representation of an XML Namespace,
I'm not sure.
So as long as we don't mention XML Namespaces, I'm happy....
