Some input for Point 2 of today's agenda > 2. "Basic Steps for Managing an RDF Vocabulary" - next steps > http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/VM/principles/20050513 5. Publication An RDF description of an RDF vocabulary should be published. Potential users should be clearly informed as to which is the 'authoritative' RDF description of an RDF vocabulary. Where the resources that are the members of an RDF vocabulary are denoted by HTTP URIs, an HTTP GET request with the header field 'accept=application/rdf+xml' against that URI should return an RDF/XML serialisation of an RDF graph that includes a description of the denoted resource. ----------------------------- I was wondering about what I've been testing lately at http://www.mondeca.com/system/publishing which tries to follow OASIS Published Subjects recommendation http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/3050/pubsubj-pt1-1.02-cs.pdf but which is clearly, in regard of the above prose, not a best practice. For example http://www.mondeca.com/system/publishing#Descriptor does not get to an RDF file, but to an anchor in an HTML informal documentation. (So far in French, sorry - currently working on the English version.) This seemed to be conformant to OASIS Published Subjects recommendation, Requirement 2: "A Published Subject Identifier must resolve to an human-interpretable Published Subject Indicator." The formal OWL-RDF decription is a separate resource at http://www.mondeca.com/system/publishing.rdf According to Recommendation 2 in the same document "A Published Subject Indicator may provide machine-processable metadata about itself." But I guess the RDF schema should be included in the html page also, right?
