Re: [dxwg] http or https in dcat:mediaType? (#1206)

In my opinion, this issue is a problem inherent in the mixing of identification and resolution in http URIs. Apparently, http URIs turn out not to be really persistent identifiers!
A possible solution would indeed be to ignore the protocol part, but I don't think we can decide to do that in our corner of the Web -- it should then be raised as an issue more widely at W3C.
In the meantime, we will have to live with duplicate identifiers. Maintainers of vocabularies can recommend to use https URIs for their terms but it will be hard to get people to convert their 'legacy' data that contains references to http URIs, so those maintainers are obliged to continue serving http URIs to honour their commitment to persistence.
