The default representation if no extension is specified is a normal web
page. I guess you could try to do something with content negotiation,
but I'd rather not rely on that. On the other hand the page could
include something like:
<link
rel="alternate" type="application/rdf+xml"
href="http://uniprot.org/entry/P12345.rdf"
/>
Haven't given that much thought yet.
Note that if you actually entered http://uniprot.org/entry/P12345.rdf,
you would be forwarded to some other site that is capable of serving the
resource. Since these URLs are not really as stable as they should be, I
prefer to use URNs for identifying resources, e.g.
urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:P12345
This also avoids confusion with users who always expect a URL to be
resolvable...
