Abstract

A system and method for providing namespace related information. A namespace library operating in a computer provides a central source of namespace related information for handling XML documents. The namespace related information may be used by other computer application programs operating in the computer. The namespace related information provided by the namespace library is indexed by namespace. Many types of namespace related information may be associated with each namespace. The computer application programs may obtain namespace related information by querying the namespace library using a particular namespace.
