hi melvin, just a quick important reply (gotta leave and will replay in more detail about the web2.0 thought) i do NOT have anything against hash-uris, i have something against the prescription of hash-uris. if you like them use them, if you like non-hash uris use these. if you like urn-s use urn-s. note : webIDRealm (the tomcat thing) is capable of retrieving the foaf profile along with the publicKey not only via http, but also via an underlying sail repository in case the profiles should not be publicly available, so even cia and nsa agents can use it ;-) wkr turnguard On Sun, 2012-11-04 at 13:29 +0100, Melvin Carvalho wrote: > > > On 4 November 2012 12:47, Jürgen Jakobitsch > <j.jakobitsch@semantic-web.at> wrote: > hi melvin, > > for me the problem is that we now have a political dimension > of personal > preferences which cut my personal freedom of choice. > > if we award other linked data groups the same behaviour > (express > preferences of uri or serialization) the argument about the > advantages > of having one kind of uri and one kind of serialization become > void. > > linked data works with any kind of dereferenceable uri and any > kind of > serialization. > if webID only works with hash-http-uris and turtle it is just > another > application in the spirit of web2.0 in the special disguise of > using > linked data techniques. > > I really do sympathize with the points you made and I was initially > taken aback by this.
