RE: INSEE releases OWL ontology and RDF data for geographical entities

Eric,

Does this response to my question imply that the other things I mentioned
are OK?

I have one last(?) question: In how far is there a relation between what we
talked about and an "endpoint"? When I have something like:
http://www.15926.org/2006/02/part2
does that mean that the "local name" 'part2' is an endpoint?

And would http://www.15926.org/2006/02/part2/ then *not* constitute one?

Regards,
Hans

You need to go back in the context set by Xiaoshu's mail to which I was
answering!

Xiaoshu wrote:

"The reason for me to raise this question is this.  Unlike hash URI, the
namespace URI can not be "inferred" or "guessed" from a URI itself.  For
instance, a URI of http://foo.com/bar can be constructed with namespace
http://foo.com/, http://foo.com/b or http://foo.com/ba coupled with local ID
of "bar", "ar" and "r", respectively."

He meant that a URI such as http://foo.com/bar can be obtained by a
namespace name http://foo.com/b and a local name "ar":

<ar xmlns="http://foo.com/b"/>

This would of course be a bad practise and he was mentioning that he thought
the W3C should clearly forbid that.

My remark is that if <ar xmlns="http://foo.com/b"/> would be interpreted as
http://foo.com/bar, it would be serialised back as <bar
xmlns="http://foo.com/"/> (thus my comment about the fact that with these
"weird URIs", XML/RDF -> RDF store -> XML/RDF roundtrips would be still more
broken that it is generally the case).

That's all what I meant, nothing more :) ...

Don't you think all these XML schema languages should work together?
