The RDFphoto system implemented in jigsaw allows content-negotiation to either get a jpg image or the rdf content of the image. http://www.w3.org/TR/photo-rdf I am not sure if that makes it a good thing, but it demonstrates that we do it... cheers Charles McCathieNevile On Wed, 29 Nov 2000, David Schweinsberg wrote: Hello I have a question regarding the retrieval of RDF from a HTTP server. It seems fairly clear in regard to retrieving information regarding documents - either the RDF is embedded within the document or there is a link to it. But is this the only point of entry regarding discovering RDF info at a web site? Would it be reasonable to use HTTP content negotiation? Given a URI of, say, http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee, I imagine a web browser would want the HTML, but using the URI in an RDF context, we would want an RDF response. Is this URI "overloading" considered bad form? Anyhow, I have looked long and hard for an answer before posting a possibly stupid question, but to no avail.
