Re: [http-range14] how to publish RDF for Information Resources

Dear Yang,

I'd not recommend you not to use an information resource as the
identifier of your resource. Then, according httpRange-14, you don't
need to perform such redirection between the different representations
of your resource. Of course might be useful to link them, but that
depends on each concrete format; for instance, from HTML to RDF you
could use a meta tag on your markup.

Cheers,
