Most business and communications problems that XML can solve require a combination of several XML vocabularies. XML has a mechanism for qualifying names to be allocated into different namespaces, such as namespaces that apply to different industries. In XML, a uniform resource identifier (URI) provides a unique name to associate with the element, attribute, and type definitions in an XML schema.

There are two requirements for the business object target namespace:

  • The business process management run time and tools prefer target namespaces to look like http://www.foo.com/xyz versus urn:foo:com:xyz.
  • The business object framework requires a target namespace for business objects.
