> No matter what is the final design decision of the HttpRange-14, I think another problem we may need to address is how to explain to the data publisher that they need two URIs to publish a data and its description. In the original document Cool URIs for Semantic Web, it only explained what to do, but not why we need to do it.

The solution needs to solve the fundamental cases (to enable publishing metadata of the webpage, a data and its description etc), compatible with the existing web architecture, meanwhile having minimum impact on existing published links. But I think most importantly, the solution need to be simple to be adopted.

> I have done some preliminary evaluation work on the social adoption of the existing linked data publishing mechanisms, we found that there is relatively high error rate in publishing of the Linked Data. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4138729/paper/dereference_iswc2011.pdf  We then implemented a validator http://www.hyperthing.org/ to demonstrate the concept.
