TAG Product: URI Documentation Discovery
DRAFT 2012-02-11 by JAR, with new success criteria, and
schedule back one month
Goals
The goal is to develop a URI documentation provision and discovery
architecture that is simple, general, performant, consistent with
Web architecture, and accepted by the linked data community.
In other words, the goal is to "drive the httpRange-14 issue to a
conclusion" (note that httpRange-14 itself was formally closed, but
what it proposes continues to be controversial and incompletely deployed; the continuing concerns are tracked in Tracker under ISSUE-57)
Success criteria
- Uptake
-
Technical interoperability of RDF used for metadata with RDF used
for linked data
-
Consensus specification for
easier deployment
of URI documentation for 'hashless' URIs compared to 303 redirects, and/or
broader acceptance of 'hash' URIs
-
Consensus specification for
more efficient deployment
of URI documentation for 'hashless' URIs compared to 303 redirects, and/or
broader acceptance of 'hash' URIs
