Thank you for your kind answer Bob.

However, I was not able to locate the string "org.omg.xmi.namespace.UML" 
in any of these two documents.

May be you got me wrong: I'm not looking for specifications about the 
concept or use of namespaces in UML or the like. I'm looking for a 
somewhat official document that maps e.g. the string 
"org.omg.xmi.namespace.UML" to the 05-04-01.pdf document specifying UML 
1.4.2 in order to direct you - the agrouml implementers - to use that 
string as a namespace while exporting a UML model to a XMI representation.

It would even be better if I could find a document with all namespace 
strings for any UML specification known so far. Does someone know how 
those mappings get defined globally?

Or am I wrong in my expectations to find the xmlns:UML-strings used by 
tool vendors for XMI exports in some tool-independent specifiction document?

kind regards

Rolf
