Hi Mark,

The unfortunate answer is "no".

DSpace doesn't have a namespace URI root, but a bunch of "fake" 
(non-resolving) ones have been created throughout the years:

* AIP format uses "www.dspace.org/schema/"
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/DSpace+AIP+Format

* METS exporter uses "www.dspace.org/standards/"
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpaceMETSSIPProfile

Both of those URIs were created many many years ago (both around 
2007ish, IIRC). Unfortunately those URIs never have resolved to anything 
(as far as I'm aware).

Part of the issue here is that we really don't have/publish our schemes 
anywhere official. Though we do have one schema "published" off of:
http://static.duraspace.org/dspace/ (which is actually hosted off the wiki)

However, if we did want to generate some more official schemas, we 
definitely could create a more official, resolvable URI (and update all 
our old ones).

Fedora has such a place...they used "fedora.info" as their URI root, e.g.

http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/repository
http://fedora.info/definitions/1/0/foxml1-1.xsd

So, that doesn't really answer your question. Just noting that this is 
somewhat a "known" problem. It's fixable. We just need to decide on a 
URI and actually generate schemas, etc to publish off of that URI.
