Re: lcsh.info RDFa SKOS and content negotiation - use of RDF-style # IDs in RDFa?

My preferred practice for naming concepts is to use blank nodes and then  
foaf:primaryTopicOf to ground them:

	<link about="_:StevenPemberton" rel="foaf:primaryTopicOf"  
href="http://www.cwi.nl/~steven/" />
	<link about="_:Amsterdam" rel="foaf:primaryTopicOf"  
href="http://www.amsterdam.nl/" />
	<link about="_:W3C" rel="foaf:primaryTopicOf" href="http://www.w3.org/" />
	<link about="_:TheWasteLand" rel="foaf:primaryTopicOf"  
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Waste_Land" />
	<link about="_:Love" rel="foaf:primaryTopicOf"  
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love" />

<span about="_:TheWasteLand" property="dc:creator">T.S. Eliot</span>
<a about"_:W3C" rel="foaf:homepage" href="http://www.w3.org/">W3C</a>

I have a nascent proposal to reserve a http scheme to make this easier to  
write:

	<span about="pto:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Waste_Land"  
property="dc:creator">T.S. Eliot</span>

but let's not argue about that now.

Best wishes,

Steven
