Others could, too, but they often don't do it (I was more thinking about other people's vocabs in my post). using xml entities is another handy option for uri abbreviation which doesn't seem to be too popular... <snip'n'shake/> >Yeah, this style of URI is no good for RDF/OWL Classes or predicates, as it >precludes nice looking qnames (such as 'skos:prefLabel'). > >However, this isn't usually a major concern for RDF descriptions of concepts >from thesauri, as these are generally not used as classes or predicates. regarding SKOS, would you like to see support of this "slash plus hash" approach for concept URIs in SKOS authoring tools? IOW, would you encourage glossary authors to create concept URIs of that form? (Or am I asking that a too early stage? My current plan was to use slash'd concept URIs..) cheers, benjamin >Al. -- Benjamin Nowack Kruppstr. 100 45145 Essen, Germany http://www.bnode.org/
