Re: urn:solid: for prototyping predicates

Dear all,

just a curious question: As a developer, have you considered just 
publishing your vocabulary on your Solid Pod and be done with it for 
fast prototyping?
I have done that in the past and that worked great. See e.g. [1,2] or 
[3,4,5].

Cheers
Christoph
