-MVM propone la excelencia operacionalel desarrollo sostenible y la generación de valor para el direccionamiento estratégico (conocimiento innovación). incorporando prácticas que permitan el mejoramiento de procesos y aprendizaje organizacional.+ 
 +A namespace is similar to a directory or folder, while pages are similar to files. 
 +In [[DokuWiki]]  you can use namespaces to categorize your pages. For names of namespaces the same restrictions hold as for [[pagename|pagenames]]. 
 +  
 +A default DokuWiki installation comes with the built-in namespaces: //wiki// and //playground//
 + 
 +===== Creating Namespaces ===== 
 + 
 +You don't need to create namespaces separately; simply create pages with colons in the [[pagename]].  
 +The token after the last colon will be the name of the page itself, while all other tokens are namespaces.  
 +All namespaces used in your pagename that don't exist already will be created by DokuWiki automatically. 
 + 
 +A namespace can be created in the media manager after having selected a file on the local computer and adding a ''name:'' (of namespace wanted) just before the media file name and then clicking ''upload''. This will create on the fly the namespace (folder) for the file media, visible after a refresh of the windows. 
 + 
 +In DokuWiki pages are created as in every other wiki. Simply create a link to a non existing page, follow this link, and click on Create this page. See also [[.:page#create_a_page|Adding pages]]. 
 + 
 +^  Examples:  ^^ 
 +|example\\ .example\\ .:example|refers to the page "example" in the **current** namespace.| 
 +|:example|refers to the page "example" in the **root** namespace.| 
 +|..example\\ ..:example\\ .:..:example|refers to the page "example" in the **parent** namespace| 
 +|wiki:example|refers to the page "example" in the namespace "wiki". The namespace "wiki" is located **beneath the root** namespace.| 
 +|ns1:ns2:example\\ :ns1:ns2:example|refers to the page "example" in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located **beneath the root** namespace.| 
 +|.ns1:ns2:example\\ .:ns1:ns2:example|refers to the page "example" in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located **beneath the current** namespace.| 
 +|..ns1:ns2:example\\ ..:ns1:ns2:example|refers to the page "example" in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located **beside the current** namespace (i.e. both ns1 and the current namespace are beneath the same parent namespacewherever according to the root namespace this parent may be located itself).| 
 +|.ns1:ns2:\\ .:ns1:ns2:|refers to the page "start" in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located beneath the current namespace.\\ \\ (The default page can be named something other than "start" by adjusting the [[config:startpage]] configuration setting.)|  
 + 
 +:!: Gotcha: The syntax for relative and absolute internal links is non-unique and complex relative to directory and filename conventions. 
 + 
 +Paths are absolute if and only if they begin with "/"
 + 
 +Links are absolute if and only if they have a ":" prefix or have no prefix but do have intermediate (or suffix) ":" 
 + 
 +Links relative to the current namespace may also begin with either "." or ".:" (".." or "..:" for parent namespace). 
 + 
 +===== Referring Images ===== 
 + 
 +Regarding referring of namespaces, images and other media files are handled like wiki pages. That means, the following refers to an image that belongs to the current namespace: 
 +<code> 
 +{{image.jpg}} 
 +</code> 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +===== Deleting namespaces ===== 
 + 
 +When all pages inside a namespace are removed (see [[page#delete_a_page|delete a page]]) the namespace logically doesn’t exist anymore. DokuWiki usually deletes the now empty directory as well. 
 + 
 +===== How  to rename namespaces? ===== 
 + 
 +==== Manual way ==== 
 + 
 +In order to rename a namespace manually you will have to: 
 +  * Rename the folders that represent the namespace in: 
 +    * ''data/pages'' 
 +    * ''data/media'' (if this exists) 
 +  * Remove metadata for the namespace under ''data/meta'' 
 +  * Remove attic data for the namespace under ''data/attic'' (or move that over as well, if you want to preserve old versions) 
 +   
 +For example, on a Unix host, you could: 
 +  * ''mv /dokuwiki_base/data/pages/old_namespace /dokuwiki_base/data/pages/new_namespace'' 
 +  * ''mv /dokuwiki_base/data/media/old_namespace /dokuwiki_base/data/media/new_namespace'' 
 +  * ''rm -Rf /dokuwiki_base/data/meta/old_namespace'' 
 +  * move: ''mv /dokuwiki_base/data/attic/old_namespace /dokuwiki_base/data/attic/new_namespace'' \\ or remove: ''rm -Rf /dokuwiki_base/data/attic/old_namespace''  
 +Note that the ''old_namespace'' and/or ''new_namespace'' words may need to be encoded if they are on a non-Latin character set (i.e. Greek, Russian, etc). 
 + 
 +  * Correct (by editing them) all the links to the pages under the //moved// namespace (you can discover those before moving the namespace by reviewing each page's [[backlinks]]). 
 + 
 +  * Browse each and every page under the new namespace. This will create the missing indexing information and metadata for the pages under the moved namespace. 
 + 
 +However, you will still have lots of junk left around. For example in ''data/changes.log'', various files under cache (including the ''.idx'' files etc). If possible you could just start from a ''blank state'' as follows (again under Unix) but be warned that this will mean losing all your historical information (i.e. ''recent changes''): 
 + 
 +  * ''cat /dev/null > /dokuwiki_base/data/changes.log'' 
 +  * ''rm -Rf /dokuwiki_base/data/attic/*'' 
 +  * ''rm -Rf /dokuwiki_base/data/cache/?'' 
 +  * ''rm -Rf /dokuwiki_base/data/cache/*.idx'' 
 +  * ''rm -Rf /dokuwiki_base/data/cache/purgefile'' 
 +  * Browse each and every page of your Wiki. 
 + 
 +DISCLAIMER: I understand this is convoluted (and maybe I missed/messed a couple of things you should also do). All in all this is a PITA. You may also use a couple of [[plugins]] that are available for (re)building the searchindex for the complete wiki, erasing entire cache and/or old wiki revisions thus avoiding having to do this manually. 
 + 
 +===== Namespace Default Linking ===== 
 + 
 +It is possible to link to the default file of a namespace by ending the linkid 
 +with a colon: %%[[foo:bar:]]%%. Which page the link links to is dependent on the 
 +existence of certain named files. For %%[[foo:bar:]]%% the following pages are 
 +checked: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +foo:bar:$conf['start'
 +foo:bar:bar 
 +foo:bar 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +The pages are checked in that order and whatever page is found first will be linked to. [[config:autoplural|Autoplural]] linking is not done for those links. 
 + 
 +===== Interwiki Links ===== 
 + 
 +DokuWiki supports Interwiki links. These are quick links to other Wikis. 
 +For example: [[wp>Wiki]] is a link to Wikipedia's page about Wikis→ Main article: [[doku>Interwiki]]
