And, of course I would like to be able to get it as Linked Data. Which would mean an ontology of MIME types, etc., which I think has been a bit controversial in the past (from ageing memory). Of course you might say that this is contrary top the HTTP style; but in a world of mirrors, etc, where I may have a number of places that can offer to serve me Linked Data (dbpedia mirrors, anyone?), it would be good to be able to choose according to content type in addition to cost, etc., which should also be published as Linked Data, of course. Does anyone know of work in this area? (:- I have always found the way Content "Negotiation" is done as not very negotiable. I shout at you, telling you what I would like, and you give me something back that may conform to something. It is like me negotiating price by telling you the various prices I am willing to pay, and how you should choose which one (q), and then you come back with a price I accept. And at the end of it all I still have no idea what other price structures you might have had. I'm sure this is all because I don't know http well enough. :-) Cheers Hugh > > Phil > > -- > Phillip Lord, Phone: +44 (0) 191 222 7827 > Lecturer in Bioinformatics, Email: phillip.lord@newcastle.ac.uk > School of Computing Science, http://homepages.cs.ncl.ac.uk/phillip.lord > Room 914 Claremont Tower, skype: russet_apples > Newcastle University, twitter: phillord > NE1 7RU >
