Longevity of web.resource.org URIs for Creative Commons in RDF

Hi Carl, Aaron,

I'm in Berlin right now discussing long-term preservation and
availability of metadata formats with Tom Baker, cc:'d, ... and I
happened to take a look at the situation with Creative Commons RDF
markup. According to
http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/100-most-common-rdf-namespaces/ the
namespace at http://web.resource.org/cc/ is the 13th most widely used
in their harvested RDF dataset.

So I typed "whois resource.org" and amongst the output I see:

Domain ID:D2960895-LROR
Domain Name:RESOURCE.ORG
Created On:07-Jan-1999 05:00:00 UTC
Last Updated On:01-Oct-2005 00:26:48 UTC
Expiration Date:07-Jan-2008 05:00:00 UTC
Sponsoring Registrar:Go Daddy Software, Inc. (R91-LROR)

I'm not expert in interpreting such things, ... maybe you have
mechanisms in place for making sure this is renewed, ... but I was a
little concerned to see that date looming (< 1 year).

Do you plan to keep this domain renewed indefinitely, and keep using
web.resource.org for Creative Commons?

cheers,

Dan

ps. am copying the public www-archive list archiver, feel feel to
preserve or drop the cc according to taste... ... but if you do care
to put a commitment on record w.r.t. this domain, such a cc: would be
a quick/easy way to do so. If you've never posted to www-archive
before, you'll get a mail (maybe in your spam trap) from a bot asking
for permission to archive your message(s).
