Library item metadata: ql namespace definition?

Post by finson » Sat Feb 23, 2013 2:15 am

I'm interested in perhaps using library metadata for various items. I found this:
Starting with QCAD 3 (final), QCAD part library items can be tagged with meta data through a standard RDF / dublin core XML file. Such a file might look like this example file:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:ql="http://qcad.org/ql/elements/1.0/"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/">
I can find the definitions for the Dublin Core namespace items, but I haven't been able to find an equivalent definition for the "ql" namespace. Is there one?

Thanks.

Doug

The ql namespace (http://qcad.org/ql/elements/1.0/) is used for all RDF extensions which are CAD / QCAD specific. The documentation on our web site lists all tags and values that are supported by the current version of QCAD:

We don't have a formal definition of the namespace available at this point.

Thanks Andrew. It wasn't clear to me that the example actually lists all the ql elements, so I was looking for something more. But if that's the complete list, I'm set for now. Doug
