This feels like a beginner question, but after a few searches I can't find any discussion of the issue. Let's say I have a namespace identified by the URI http://www.example.com/pathname. To identify the name foo from that namespace, what are the pros and cons of identifying it with a URI of http://www.example.com/pathname/foo as opposed to http://www.example.com/pathname#foo? The pound sign seems to more clearly indicate "the following is a name from the namespace named up to this point," but I see that most references to Dublin Core names (e.g. http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator) use the slash. Perhaps the question is better framed without reference to syntax: is it better for a name from a namespace to have it's own complete URI or for it to be referenced using a fragment identifier appended to the URI for its namespace? thanks, BobReceived on Monday, 16 February 2004 10:14:48 UTC
