No.  Only the namespace matters.  The prefix is just a shortcut that points to the full namespace.  You can take whatever you want, as long as the correct namespace is provided.

As far as the service is concerned, you can use xmlns:beer= <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0> http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0>  and beer:MappedFeature  must work. The XML parser internally replaces all "beer" occurences by "http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0> ".

Note, that namespace declaration shall also be declared in a KVP request (HTTP GET)

http://www.someserver.com/wfs.cgi <http://www.someserver.com/wfs.cgi> ? SERVICE=WFS&
VERSION=2.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&NAMESPACES=xmlns(myns,http://www.someserver.com),xmlns(yourns,http://www.someotherserver.com) ...

But some services (like Mapserver) "cheat" and assume that the prefix you use (eg TYPENAME=gsml:MappedFeature) will match the prefix exposed in the GetCapabilities.

Hi all, 
Gilly has proposed the following namespaces: 
        xmlns:gsml="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0> "
       xmlns:cgu="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0> "
       xmlns:gt="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0> "
       xmlns:gbh="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0> "
       xmlns:glab="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0> "
       xmlns:gpp="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0> "
       xmlns:trs="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlc="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlem="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlga="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlgm="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Geomorphology/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Geomorphology/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlgu="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlst="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0> "

Firstly, for consistency and uniqueness purposes, shouldn't we use: 
        xmlns:gsml30="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlcgu="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlgt="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlbh="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmllab="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlpp="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0> "
       xmlns:trs="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlc="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlem="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlga="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlgm="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Geomorphology/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Geomorphology/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlgu="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlgs="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0> "

Secondly, for query purposes, do we have to agree on these namespace abbreviations as part of the GeoSciML v3 profile? If I use gsmlgs and others use gsmlst for "http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0> " then can a request to both services for 'Contact" be made, and if so is it only if the full namespace is included in the request? 
If we have to agree on the abbreviations then this will need to be formally documented.

Hi folks,

Could one of the WFS guru advised me on (1) what version of WFS, and (2) what top feature  should be used for drafting the instance doc?

<wfs:FeatureCollection> seems to be the most common top feature in the instance doc available here (https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/subversion/GeoSciML/branches/3.0.0/instances/ <https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/subversion/GeoSciML/branches/3.0.0/instances/> ), or should we use a <gsmlc:Collection>, or something else?

If you're looking for them, here is the list of all the GeoSciML v.3.0 namespaces:

       xmlns:gsml="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeoSciML-Core/3.0> "
       xmlns:cgu="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Utilities/3.0> "
       xmlns:gt="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicTime/3.0> "
       xmlns:gbh="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Borehole/3.0> "
       xmlns:glab="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/LaboratoryAnalysis-Specimen/3.0> "
       xmlns:gpp="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/PhysicalProperties/3.0> "
       xmlns:trs="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/TemporalReferenceSystem/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlc="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/Collection/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlem="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/EarthMaterial/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlga="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicAge/3.0> "

       xmlns:gsmlgu="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicUnit/3.0> "
       xmlns:gsmlst="http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0 <http://xmlns.geosciml.org/GeologicStructure/3.0> "
