Re: RDF Update Feeds + URI time travel on HTTP-level

Hi Michael, Georgi and all,

just to complete the list of proposals, here another one from Herbert Van de
Sompel from the Open Archives Initiative.

Memento: Time Travel for the Web
http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.1112

The idea of Memento is to use HTTP content negotiation in the datetime
dimension. By using a newly introduced X-Accept-Datetime HTTP header they
add a temporal dimension to URIs. The result is a framework in which
archived resources can seamlessly be reached via the URI of their original.

Sounds cool to me. Anybody an opinion whether this violates general Web
architecture somewhere?
Anybody aware of other proposals that work on HTTP-level?

Have a nice weekend,

Chris
