Hi All, I've hit upon something which may be a future issue (unsure). As the read/write web of data is realised (and assuming that RDF remains the primary datatype for linked data), then machines will become reliant on specific ontologies in some use-cases. With XML we have things like Atom - application/atom+xml. However if Atom were in RDF instead, and any serialization could be used (n3/rdf/xml etc), then how would one create a media type for it? Major / commonly used ontologies will arise; just as with the many registered ****+xml media types, there may be a need for ****+rdf but without the limitation of a specific serialization, or with the addition of multiple serializations. Examples: Machines / Agents may wish to indicate they "Accept:" a specific ontology "i understand x ontology / type of data in y&z serializations" - perhaps foaf-onto+rdf on the client side or diff-onto+rdf on the server side (accept-patch). Perhaps a non-issue, but worth mentioning I hope, Many Regards, Nathan
