Re: atom:category@scheme

[James M Snell <jasnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

The meaning is application dependent.  For instance, Lotus Connections
uses a category scheme value "http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/type";,
which when used with a set of specific terms (e.g. "message",
"bookmark", "chat", etc) has a very specific meaning in the Lotus
Connections product.

Essentially, the scheme identifies the ontology to which the term belongs.
