I am stunned that folks are even discussing new URI schemes for this, when linked data has clearly -- once again -- demonstrated the benefits of *dereferenceable* URIs. Please, at *least* make it dereferenceable to *some* kind of useful information. In the very least, it could be information about how bnodes are skolomized. Nobody is required to dereference a URI. But it is helpful to have the *option* of deferencing an identifier to learn more about it. -- David Booth, Ph.D. http://dbooth.org/ Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of his employer.
