- Method Detail
  - getNamespace
```
java.lang.String getNamespace()

    Returns:
    
    the namespace, e.g. "nodes".
  - contributesTo
```
boolean contributesTo(java.lang.String namespace)
```
    Defines if the current implementation contributes to the given namespace. This is usually the case, when the given namespaces equals getNamespace(), but is not a requirement.
    
    Parameters:
    
    namespace - the namespace to contribute to
    
    Returns:
