Hi, On a couple of occasions recently the subject of persistent hosting for commonly used ontologies/vocabularies has come up, and I was wondering if this is something that could be coordinated at a W3C level, for the benefit of the SW community and beyond. The examples I have in mind are the Review Vocabulary, which currently redirects to [1], and the "SWC Conference Ontology"; this is the working title for the conference ontology first incarnated for ESWC2006, enhanced for ISWC2006, and now being stabilised ahead of ESWC2007 (see [2] for more info). Particularly for the SWC Conference Ontology, it would be nice not to anchor this to an event specific namespace such as eswc2007.org, but instead to use a neutral location to emphasise its broader relevance. I imagine the same is true of the Review Vocabulary. If something like http://ns.semanticweb.org was possible, that might send out the right message. On a related topic, at the same time it might be worth addressing the issue of profile URIs for microformats, if they're going to be used for GRDDLing. This is likely to be of higher priority to the Semantic Web community than it is to those using microformats to build a (lowercase) semantic web, so perhaps we need to take the lead. Will be interested to hear your thoughts, Cheers, Tom.
