Re: Namespace of ODRL

Hi all,

I've just updated http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/ with the following (hopefully not-compatibility-breaking!) changes:

- I've checked in a copy of the current Turtle, N-Triples and RDF/XML versions of the schema

- I've updated the .htaccess rules to negotiate, rather than simply redirect to the XSD

This means that if you request at http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/ for:

application/xml => you get the XSD

text/turtle => you get the Turtle

application/rdf+xml => you get RDF/XML

text/plain => you get N-Triples

http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/ODRL20.xsd will continue to always return the XSD, as before.

If you specifically want the Turtle, N-Triples or RDF/XML without performing Content-Negotiation, they can be found at:

http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/model.ttl
http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/model.nt
http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/model.rdf

I know they break convention slightly by not matching the base name of the XSD -- they could be renamed without any meaningful impact?

If you request, e.g.:

 http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/assignee

...you will be returned a "303 See Other" redirect to

 http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/

This in effect tells the user-agent that <http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/assignee> is described by the resource which can be found at <http://www.w3.org/odrl/2/>, and the latter should be examined for a description of the former.

I haven't yet uploaded an HTML representation; the current LODE-generated version can be viewed at:

http://www.essepuntato.it/lode/owlapi/http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/

I do have a to-do list of fixes to make over the next day or so, particularly around specifying the ranges of properties and adding more detailed descriptions of each thing.

All the best,

M.
