The W3C XHTML 2 Working Group has posted the last call working draft of CURIE Syntax 1.0: A syntax for expressing Compact URIs. This is modeled after namespace URIs and qualified names. In brief, it defines a prefix for a known base IRI (a URI that can contain non-ASCII characters like é), then appends a colon and a local part. For example, the CURIE cafe:tradeshows.xml could be shorthand for http://www.cafeaulait.org/tradeshows.xml if the prefix cafe were mapped to the URL http://www.cafeaulait.org/.

However if the CURIEs are in an XML document, then the namespaces in scope define the prefix mappings. The default namespace can be used for prefix-less CURIEs. More...
