I find this URL (or a similar one) always on HTML files, XML, XSD… Like ‘http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema‘ or ‘http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance‘ I always wonder what those URLs means. Even offline the XML or HTML document works without changes. What’s the benefits on links to those URLs?? Thanks
Those URLs do not necessarily point to any website/server. They are a convenient naming mechanism. The idea is since every company will have a unique website, using that as their namespace will avoid clashes. Hence better interoperability. Hence the custom.
