At a guess:

Owl supports the idea of an 'Ontology' object. Usually this is done in the rdf as that object with no fragment identifier. Thus, when you fetch

	http://example.org/voc/Test

You get RDF that describes the OWL "ontology" object whose URI is

	http://example.org/voc/Test

As well as RDF that describes other objects

	http://example.org/voc/Test#TestCase
	http://example.org/voc/Test#hasTest

and so on.

So ... a namespace is not necessarily the same thing as an ontology object, but it's usually done that way.
