Re: [Minutes] Plenary call - 2017-02-22

Dear all,

Thanks for the minutes and belated regrets. One observation reading the 
minutes:

>    KJanowic: look at prefix.cc for how people look up ontologies
>    ... this is the common way
>    ... one namespace
>    ... we need to keep to the common pattern

@Krzysztof, you have often referred to prefix.cc in your argumentation 
from what I can read. I'm not comfortable with this. First, prefix.cc 
has no official status, no authority, and may no longer be maintained. 
It was discontinued for a moment and Richard said that he is not 
interested in investing time on it.

This was a social experiment. Anyone can spam the system, associating 
any URI with any prefix and adding +1 to increase the rank. This is for 
alleviating all those known problems that vocabularies such as VANN and 
VOAF and tools such as LOV have been created, so that a vocabulary 
author declares what should be the preferred prefix / namespace for the 
published vocabulary. I don't think that the functioning of a system 
such as prefix.cc is relevant to the discussion of whether one, two or 
more namespaces should be adopted for SSN.
Best regards.

   Raphaël
