The general question of whether the versionIRI should always reference an OWL file regardless of content negotiation or not is NOT a blocker. I am curious because I am thinking of publishing other ontologies I work on using such a scheme. If the OntologyIRI and or versionIRI ~MUST~ reference some form of RDF/XML regardless of content negotiation than I will have to re-think my plan. --Stephan > (Ie the same as the 'here' link on > http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-prov-o-20120503/ ) > > You can also have an rdfs:seeAlso to > http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-prov-o-20120503/ to show the right > version of the documentation. > > > I think for the TR releases this is what owl:versionIRI should say, as > that is what will be preserved 'forever'.
