Yes! I would expect: 
http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/webvowl/index.html?iri=http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns 
<http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/webvowl/index.html#iri=http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns> 
rather than 
http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/webvowl/index.html#iri=http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns 
.
