Several months later.. UnCool URIs might have to change, so how would one go about it, specifically scoped to Vocabs/Ontologies at the minute. Let's use FOAF as an example. My gut feeling is to create a new Ontology, the same but using fragments, make it available at a new URI, then encourage people to use that instead. As for BC and migration, have the relevant replaces/obsoletes/isReplacedBy/equivalentTo in both ontologies, then wait for migration to happen. You certainly remove the existing FOAF ontology, but why can't you migrate to a new one? Surely, on this web of ours, we must have a way to correct mistakes, upgrade things or change designs. Best, Nathan
