role Optional The role attribute allows the author to annotate elements with machine-extractable semantic information about the nature or purpose of an element.
The value of the role attribute is one or several QNames, which when expanded resolves to a class or property in an RDF vocabulary.

The Z39.86 role attribute has been designed to be functionally compatible with the W3C XHTML Role Attribute Module.
This module itself does not define a method to assign default prefixes to used QNames; such practice is application specific.
