The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) defines an XML namespace as a collection of names, identified by a URI reference, that is used in XML documents as element types and attribute names.
The primary use of namespaces in service development is to provide a unique identifier for the service. It affects how the service is called and how it is identified in composite services.
A namespace is declared using a family of reserved attributes. Namespace attributes may be provided directly or by default. In some instances, names default with spaces and must be changed. To avoid having to change individual files, you can set the default target namespace.
