I have no problem with exploring a pure Linked Data solution, but we would need to migrate the existing w3id.org <http://w3id.org/> PURLs forward, I think.

They can also request the creation of “domains” (paths) that administrators can approve or deny.

If you want to be a bit more hard core, how about running a 100% linked data service such as: > > https://github.com/linkeddata/gold <https://github.com/linkeddata/gold> > > or > > https://github.com/linkeddata/ldnode <https://github.com/linkeddata/ldnode> > > Installation is easy e.g. > > npm install -g ldnode > It has a user system, conneg, all sorts of MIME types, https, login, inline editor, and importantly, access control lists. > > > > Regards, > Dave > -- > http://about.me/david_wood <http://about.me/david_wood> > > >> >> Steph. >> >> > > >
