The STAR XML Schemas use several namespaces internally. Depending on software that is being used to create the XML instances that are transmitted some of these namespaces may show up in the BOD itself. All references to these namespaces can be safely removed. For more information on the namespaces that are used by the schemas, please see the STAR XML Naming and Design Rules document.
http://www.starstandard.org/STAR/6/qualifieddatatypes/1.0 - Defines the namespace for the STAR Qualified Data Types. The prefix is sqdt .
http://www.starstandard.org/STAR/6/codelists - Defines the namespace for the STAR Code Lists. The prefix is scl .
http://www.nmma.org/CodeLists - Defines the namespace for the National Marine Manufacture Association Code Lists. The prefix is nmmacl .
http://www.xfront.com/UnitsOfMeasure - Defines the namespace for XFront.com's Unit of Measure code lists. STAR has contributed to and enhanced the initial list and all changes are included in the codelist available at www.xfront.com. The prefix is xfUOMcl .
These namespaces are used primarily in the construction of the data types and code lists that the elements and attributes use. They are used internally by the schema and are here for documentation purposes only. These should not show up in the XML Instance.
