RE: [VM] Reminder for rescheduled telecon today (Friday)

In a rush before the telecon.

I'm fully happy with the content negotiation approach, my only concern is that you don't
know what *aspect* of the resource will be retrieved under a certain protocol until you
get there, unless you can get beforehand some expression of the type-map file. Putting
that along with my current thoughts about aspects and perspectives (sorry to take this
same hammer again to hit this nail), if I look at:

> URI: core
>
> URI: core-latest-rdf
> Content-type: application/rdf+xml

strikes me that I could write that in SPEK

 <spek:Aspect rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core-latest-rdf">
  <spek:about rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos"/>
  <spek:inPerspective rdf:resource="some_URI_defining_application/rdf+xml"/>
 </spek:Aspect>

Just a thought. More about it on the phone.
