Re: [WNET] new proposal WN URIs and related issues

Yes, it would be easier to manage :-)

It is explained and referenced in [1]. Basically it's the set of triples 
that has one particular resource as its subject. It has been proposed as 
a suitable 'default response' to the question 'tell me about this 
resource'. We would like to return a CBD on an HTTP GET for a WN URI.

I'm not sure what you think the motivation was... Actually thinking back 
I think the motivation was twofold

1) esthetics
2) easy way to define URIs that refer to larger chunks, e.g.
  http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wn20/wordsense/bank could refer to all 
the wordsenses containing 'bank'. I moved this idea to the 'Issues' 
section of [1].

I think especially that only allowing QNames for attributes in RDF/XML 
is pretty strange. You can't even replace <rdf:type ...> for its 
expanded URI. Probably other notations do not have this quirk?

Thanks again for all your offline explanations, you finally got through 
to me :-)

Mark.
