<snip> Also please note that if you mint your URIs using a 303-redirect service such as http://thing-described-by.org/ then the extra network hop from the 303 redirect could be optimized away by parsing the URI, as described here: http://thing-described-by.org/#optimizing For example, you would have the relationship: <http://t-d-b.org/?http://example/toucan-page> :isDescribedBy <http://example/toucan-page> . </snip> So the solution is to introduce a URI convention (assigning meaning to the convention) and use a central service to implement this feature. <snip> so if the toucan were denoted by the URI http://t-d-b.org/?http://example/toucan-page the you know that its description is located at http://example/toucan-page and there is no need to actually dereference the other URI. </snip> And to expect consumers of the URI to also understand and honor that convention. That sure looks|sounds to me like a new URI scheme. mca http://amundsen.com/blog/ http://twitter.com@mamund http://mamund.com/foaf.rdf#me #RESTFest 2010 http://rest-fest.googlecode.com On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 18:11, David Booth <david@dbooth.org> wrote: > On Thu, 2010-11-04 at 19:26 +0000, Nathan wrote: >> William Waites wrote: >> > we need some kind of document -> description indirection... >> >> tdb: .. provides a ready means for identifying "non-information >> resources" by semantic indirection >> >> http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-masinter-dated-uri-06 > > Yes, but this can also be done using good old http URIs, by use of a > 303-redirect service such as > http://thing-described-by.org/ > thus avoiding the need for a new URI scheme. > > > -- > David Booth, Ph.D. > Cleveland Clinic (contractor) > http://dbooth.org/ > > Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily > reflect those of Cleveland Clinic. > > >
