RE: [ld4lt] namespace for the model of language resources

Dear all,
 
It seems to me that it would make sense to take the following aspects in the discussion into account:
 
1.       What are the requirements for the Uniform Resource Identifier(s) that would be needed for LT4LT? Example requirements:
 a.       stable/immutable (see "Cool URIs don't change" at http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI )
 b.      all under one “authority” (see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier#Aufbau)
 c.       “authority” is a standardization-related entity
2.       Which “hierarchy of parts” do we expect below the top? What does this mean in terms of “paths”, “queries”, and “fragment identifiers” (see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier#Aufbau)? Example: http://x/l4lt/ms-lod

 
This presumably helps to avoid confusion and lengthy discussion originating from misunderstandings that sometimes surround namespaces and URIs. 

Possibly, this also helps to have an easy to trace path from original requirement, over design choices, to final decision.

Aside: I was a bit hesitant to send this input since I might not be aware of all discussions and decisions from the past.

Best regards,
Christian

Yes I agree with John. Most likely the URI will eventually stop
working, even if you use purl.org. In which case it's worst because
you don't even control the DNS. A better option would be to adopt
something like Trusty URIs:

Although more complicated. But it's an idea if we want to take URI
management more seriously.

Best,
Luca
