I would like to add that namespaces are convenience shorthands in local documents and have no global meaning except when dealing with some hard-coded parsers. >> KJanowic: look at prefix.cc for how people look up ontologies >> ... this is the common way >> ... one namespace >> ... we need to keep to the common pattern > > @Krzysztof, you have often referred to prefix.cc in your argumentation from what I can read. I'm not comfortable with this. First, prefix.cc has no official status, no authority, and may no longer be maintained. It was discontinued for a moment and Richard said that he is not interested in investing time on it. > > This was a social experiment. Anyone can spam the system, associating any URI with any prefix and adding +1 to increase the rank. This is for alleviating all those known problems that vocabularies such as VANN and VOAF and tools such as LOV have been created, so that a vocabulary author declares what should be the preferred prefix / namespace for the published vocabulary. I don't think that the functioning of a system such as prefix.cc is relevant to the discussion of whether one, two or more namespaces should be adopted for SSN. > Best regards. > Raphaël
