Re: requesting feeback about urls for a library catalog

Hiya,

Just an email to ask a few question to clarify the purpose of some of
these things before we get to the meat of things ;

> <data>/<id>#foaf:Person identifies a person

Why does #foaf:Person identify the <id> as a person? Can the same id
also have a different type?

> <data>/<id>#frbr:Work identifies a work

Are you doing the full FRBR monty, or just a few select?

> http://data.thelibrary.com/1234/victor_hugo

So this is a readable name version of http://data.thelibrary.com/1234/
? What does readable mean?

> <data>/1234 redirects via HTTP 303 to <data>/1234/readable_name

Why?

> <data>/1234/readable_name redirects via HTTP 301 to <data>/1234/readable_name/

Why?

> <data>/1234/victor_hugo/en.html
> <data>/1234/victor_hugo/rdf.xml

What would the language of the XML be? Or are they implicitly multi-lingual?

Just a few questions before I condemn the use of anchors in
identifiers, berate FRBR as an RDF model and generally wince about
typification. :) No, not really. Well, just a bit. But do tell a bit
more about the logic behind your choices. What are you trying to
achieve? What clients would use and benefit from your choices?


Kind regards,

Alexander
