This is an interesting question and one which we've been thinking about here at Talis as well. As we build linked data apps, with a view to the linked data being used as an api for other applications, we've thought that it is worth putting more into the response, typically we try to put everything you'd need to recreate the HTML representation. When you say it has important implications, can you expand on those? I had been thinking it was harmless. As I see it a client that expects only a DESCRIBE ?s should simply ignore the additional data provided, whereas clients that are crawling and merging into a graph will find they already have things as they expand what they know about. I can see that understanding what is likely to come back has big optimisation benefits for things like Sindice. What is the 'correct' thing to do? rob On 14 Mar 2009, at 12:12, Giovanni Tummarello wrote: > Hi Jamie, > > i see that your RDF per URI is more "expressive" than the "usual" > > instead of just giving triples out of (or into) the subject of the > page you also give the description of other notable entities inside > > for example in the blade runner movie you give the full description of > all the "film performances" (tying the real actor, the fictional > character and the movie).
