register ¶

register(
    shortname,
    uri,
    *,
    scope=None,
    version=None,
    publicationDate=None
)

Register a namespace and return its namespace module.

Registering the same shortname again with identical metadata returns the existing module, so this is idempotent. A missing publication date is filled in on a repeat call.

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 as published by the model.	required
`scope`	`str \| None`	Registration scope, to separate identically named namespaces. Defaults to the global scope.	`None`
`version`	`str \| None`	Model version string.	`None`
`publicationDate`	`str \| None`	Publication date declared by the model.	`None`

Returns:

Type	Description
`NamespaceModule`	The `NamespaceModule` for this namespace.

Raises:

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