Abstract
The present invention provides methods and systems for maintaining consistency in portal namespaces and portal event naming. Some embodiments provide a way for developers to select an appropriate portal event when working in a specific namespace. Similarly, some embodiments allow developers to determine what namespaces are available for a given portal. Developers may also define new namespaces and portal events that can later be used by other developers.
