I have the following file which declares a library and within this library there will be music recordings and video recordings. Some of these recordings have the same attributes such as title, imageName, price etc so I have declared a namespace to distinguish between music and video recordings.
At the moment there is only one of each type in the file.
Two questions:
1. is this correct so far?
2. to declare more music and video recordings do I just declare more item elements referring to the particular namespace?
First time I used namespaces and I am bit unsure as to how they work!
