namespace¶

Canonical path: o6.ns.namespace

namespace ¶

namespace(
    shortname, uri, version="1.0", publicationDate=""
)

Register a namespace in the global namespace table.

Called at the top of a namespace module, before the decorated classes below it, so that the declarations know which namespace they belong to:

o6.ns.namespace("plant", uri="http://example.org/Plant/", version="1.0")

Unlike [o6.ns.register][] this returns nothing, and when the calling module is itself the namespace module it adopts that module rather than creating a second one.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`shortname`	`str`	Short name to register the namespace under, and the attribute it becomes on `o6.ns`.	required
`uri`	`str`	Namespace URI published by this model.	required
`version`	`str`	Model version string.	`'1.0'`
`publicationDate`	`str`	Publication date declared by the model.	`''`

Raises:

Type	Description
`ValueError`	The shortname is already registered for a different URI, scope, or version.
