Or >does your app just follow the redirect? No reliance. In fact, the apps do not follow the redirects at all - the libraries do where necessary, and the apps do not know. Evidence: as I said before, there are millions of non-hash Linked Data URIs out there that do not do 303, but return 200 and RDF. >* Would your application tool/service/etc break or generic inaccurate >data if Ian's pattern was used to publish Linked Data. No. At least not for the data we currently process. If there ever might be confusion between IR and NIR, then the RDF type system for predicate domains, etc. causes distinction in the app, and avoids confusion.
