scoped name

Scoped names are used to identify a model element (e.g. a property name) in the proper name space. Besides structures, which create a separate name space, explicit name spaces can be defined as module. Thus, name spaces may define a hierarchy of any level. Scoped names describe a path through a hierarchy of name spaces. Usually a scoped name starts in the current name space, which is the name space, one is actually working in.
