(Note draft message: resolution has not been put) Subject: httpRange-14 At our face-to-face meeting at the technical plenary the Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment WG resolved unaminously that: - an http URI without a hash MAY be used to identify an RDF property where MAY is understood in terms of RFC 2119 and identify is understood in terms of RFC 3986 Our primary concerns are: - deployed semantic web applications such as Dublin Core [1], Friend-of-a-friend [2], and Creative Commons [3] that use such URIs Other important concerns are: - the practical difficulty of using '#' namespace URIs for large vocabularies such as wordnet - the impossibility of doing server side redirects on '#' URIs The TAG's failure to resolve this issue is impacting the work of the following SWBPD WG Task Forces: - Vocabulary Management - Porting Thesauri - WordNet - RDF/Topic Maps Interoperability (see WG homepage for TF list and more information [4]) A resolution by the TAG that an http URI without a hash MAY NOT be used to identify an RDF property would require a significant redeployment of Semantic Web activity effort, and cause a very large amount of difficulty.
