Namespace
Namespace is a way of defining each element type and attribute name in an XML document unambiguously, for example through associations with specific URIs, so that two or more XML-based languages may be used in that document without creating a conflict.
Network
Two or more computers connected to eachother so that they can share files and devices. The Internet is a "network of networks", whereby anyone can freely and easily exchange information.
Next Generation Internet
Next Generation Internet is a term used by governments, corporations and educators to describe the future network and the work underway to develop it. The future Internet will be so pervasive, reliable and transparent that it will be taken for granted. It will be a seamless part of life much like electricity or plumbing. However, getting to this will involve exploring technologies and network capacities that are in advance of offerings from commercial providers in terms of bandwidths, communications protocols and services.
NZGLS
