This post is a simple overview of namespaces you will run into when working with OData in the ATOM format. The list is not comprehensive, but you can get pretty far with it.
http://www.w3.org/2005/AtomThis is the Atom namespace, defined in RFC 4287. It's used for all "regular" ATOM things like entry, feed, link, content, etc.
http://www.w3.org/2007/appThis is the Atom Publishing Protocol namespace, defined in RFC 5023. It's used for the service document elements: workspace, collection, etc.
http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservicesThis is the 'data' namespace for OData, defined in MC-APDSU. It's used for property elements. Typically associated with a 'd' prefix, sometimes it'll be the default namespace.
http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadataThis is the 'metadatadata' namespace for OData, defined in MC-APDSU. It's used for etag, type and null attributes and the count, properties and inline elements. It's also used for all metadata extensions in CSDL, such as MimeType or the FC_* attributes. Typically associated with an 'm' prefix.
http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/related/SOMETHINGNot actually an XML namespace, this is used as a prefix in 'rel' attributes in links to indicate that SOMETHING is a linked entity.
http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/schemeNot actually an XML namespace, this is used as the category scheme that identifies that a category term should be interpreted as the entity type name for an entry.
Enjoy!
