bug with searching for machine tags?

Message #2744 of 5442 |

I did a search for tags with the namespace "dc:"

See
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=744dbdd\
f5c50c0176befdcae9d095a57&machine_tags=dc%3A&extras=machine_tags
or (the equivalent):
http://tinyurl.com/2uddvn

The search brings back a number of photos that have empty machine_tags
attribute in photo. For instance, look at
http://flickr.com/photos/65121277@N00/362618347/
-- the "dc" namespace is not being used, but "dc" is being used as a
predicate (i.e., xmlns:dc=http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/)

Is this a bug or expected behavior?

xmlns: is a special "namespace" in that it's defining the namespace of its predicate. "dc" in this case is actually being used as a namespace; I'd call this a...	Geoffrey Spear revgeoff	Jan 29, 2007 4:16 am
