Re: Is it best practices to use a rdfs:seeAlso link to a potentially multimegabyte PDF?, existing predicate for linking to PDF?

I know it is not the same, but I use a combination of the ORE aggregation and the dc:format terms when I publish my presentation slides in different formats. This is really relevant if you have a document that has different formats but is the same logical 'thing'. What I do, roughly, is:

@prefix ore: <http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/> .
@prefix dc: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> .
<http://www.w3.org/2010/1124-Amsterdam-IH/#talk> a ore:Aggregation ;
   ore:aggregates <http://www.w3.org/2010/Talks/1124-Amsterdam-IH/Talk.pdf>,
                  .... . 

<http://www.w3.org/2010/Talks/1124-Amsterdam-IH/Talk.pdf> a ore:AggregatedResource ;
     dc:format <http://purl.org/NET/mediatypes/application/pdf> . 

If you have something like that, you can the do a 

   rdfs:seeAlso <http://www.w3.org/2010/1124-Amsterdam-IH/#talk> .

Would that help?

Caveat: the purl.org/NET/mediatypes includes only the formally registered media type, eg, not (yet?) Turtle... but that is a different thread...
