Namespace takes part in the absolute path where data-items are referenced with (excuse my cruddy english). A folder simply rearranges objects WITHOUT actually changing the path.
you can check this from , say, report studio. A data-item is identified by the namespace path, whereas a folder does not appear in the definition.

Hi,

Also you can have query subjects of same name in two different namespaces but in folder FM does not allow you keep Query subjects of same name.

Eg: there are two namespaces namely 'SALES' and 'MARKETING', u can import time dimension into two namespaces by the same name but it not possible to store the same dimension in two different folders.

Naveen
