Re: ISSUE-27 (format): URIs for file formats [DCAT]

I checked on the status of this with John Sheridan.

He confirmed that the Pronom linked data work is still active and that 
the intention is that the reference URIs will resolve. Indeed they are 
using those URIs in other UK Government work.

[I have a contact name in The National Archive if you want to follow up 
in more detail.]
