I took some off-topic excursions, but at the core, discovery is already in the spec, e.g. <head> <link rel="alternate" type="text/turtle" href="profile.ttl"/> </head> and it is also within the topic of "default serialization" . I read this part as serializing a link somewhere in HTML to be able to find the WebID. It is off-topic regarding format, true. -- Sebastian On 23.01.22 11:31, Jonas Smedegaard wrote: > Hi Sebastian, > > Quoting Sebastian Hellmann (2022-01-23 01:44:37) >> On 22.01.22 13:19, Jonas Smedegaard wrote: >>>>> [and] Dan Brickley and Libby Miller [...]: >>>>>> People think RDF is a pain because it is complicated.
