You could always setup a squid proxy and set a long expire time.

Not sure what you mean. The problem is that the URIs in the ontology/vocabulary are not dereferenceable?

No. I'm talking about availability of RDF models in the practice, more than a conceptual or theoretical aspect.


In general, I would say the idea of replicating a vocabulary is a bad practice: Even is you use owl:sameAs, owl:equivalentProperty and owl:equivalentClass to map your new version to the old version, it will be confusing for a lot of people who wants to use your data.

I know, this is the reason of this open question.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working in projects related with LOD in the legislative scope for the Chilean government, and i think i've detected a problem that probably more than someone has had.

What happens when an ontology is not available in the URI of their namespace?
I say this because ideally, we need our "distributed the domain model" for validate our data in diferent contexts, for instance using a tool like Tabulator.

For these cases i'm thinking in some solutions such as replicate the ontology in a own URI (if the ontology licence it allows) or define in some way alternative prefixes (an idea?), ensuring (in a greater degree) the availability of the models.

I will be grateful of receiving suggestions about this problem.
Bests,
