ISSUE-10 (hash-vs-slash): Hash vs Slash [Direct Mapping]

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/track/issues/10

Raised by: Juan Sequeda
On product: Direct Mapping

The direct graph may be offered as Linked Open Data, raising the issue of distinguishing row identifiers from the information resources which describe them. This edition of this document presumes hash identifiers, allowing a GET on a row identifier to retrieve a small resource (i.e. not all rows from the same table) and distinguish between the retrieved resource People/ID=7 and the row People/ID=7#_. The "slash" alternative would offer a direct graph with identifiers like People/ID=7 but would demand the server respond to GET /People/ID=7 with a 303 redirect to some other resource.

Consequently, there is the use of "#_". There is no consensus of the need of an underscore at the end.
