=== Introduction ===

The target namespace of an XML Schema is the namespace of documents that are described by that schema. Documents described by the schemas used in the CSW-ebRIM Registry Service specification ([http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=27092 OGC 07-110r2] and [http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=27093 OGC 07-144r2]) are in the WRS namespace; although there is a slight difference is the actual namespace between the schema for the ebRim profile of CSW (targetnamespace: !http://www.opengis.net/cat/wrs/1.0) and the schema for the Basic extension package (targetnamespace: !http://www.opengis.net/cat/wrs).

The XML Schema for the ebRim profile of CSW is included in OGC 07-110r2 and reprinted on this wiki [wiki:CSWebRIMXSD here].

The XML Schema for the Basic Extension package is reprinted on this wiki [wiki:BasicPackageXSD here].

Both these schemas use other schemas with different target namespaces, and those other schemas in turn often use yet other schemas with yet other target namespaces. A visualization of which target namespace makes use of which other target namespace is shown below:
