Fwd: Broken VCard RDF links

Hello,

Please find attached the mail I sent to the W3C webmaster following the
publishing of the new (2013) version of the vCard ontology.

Beyond making the previous version of the ontology no longer accessible (but
an alternate URL could be provided), the reuse of the namespace URI
(http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#) prevents access to the OWL description of
the classes that have been removed from this version (such as the VCard class).

Regards,

Laurent Bihanic

Hello,

A new version of the vCard ontology has been published, dated 2 May 2013
(http://www.w3.org/TR/vcard-rdf/) which is not compatible (in terms of RDF
classes) with the previous version but yet reuses the same namespace URI
(http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#).
Dereferencing the namespace URI allows to download the vCard OWL ontology in
Turtle format.

Yet no replacement URI has been provided to download the previous (2010)
version of the ontology.

Hence, the page of the 2010 version
(http://www.w3.org/Submission/2010/SUBM-vcard-rdf-20100120/) contains links to
non existing objects, for example the VCard class
(http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#VCard) in items #29, 30 and 31 of Appendix A,
as this class has been removed in the new version.

Please restore access to the 2010 vCard OWL ontology and update links in the
2010 version.

Thanks you,

Laurent Bihanic
