Re: [dxwg] Review new DCTERMS version to check possible conflicts with DCAT2 (#1213)

Sorry, probably I was not clear. What I'm asking is whether it would be possible to fix the redirection to the new working URLs.

Coming back to my examples, the following PURL

http://purl.org/dc/terms/publisher

redirects to

https://dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/#publisher

whereas, with the new DCTERMS fragment IDs, it should redirect to

https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/#http://purl.org/dc/terms/publisher

About URLs like

http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-publisher

it is true they were not supposed to be persistent, but they have been around for a while. Implementing a redirection from them to the new URLs would be desirable - and could be done very easily via a RewriteRule.
