Hello I've *finally* updated my wikidata URI pattern picture based on this and an earlier conversation from back in August [1]: http://smethur.st/wikidata (you need to click the image before it's readable) Hoping it looks a little more correct. Certainly makes more sense in my head. My only concern is that (like DBpedia) it seems to conflate the 303 (can't send you that) step with the content negotiation step. So if: http://wikidata.org/id/Q{id} is the entity / non-information resource URI and: http://wikidata.org/wiki/Q{id} http://wikidata.org/data/Q{id}.{format}.{lang} (or similar) are information resource representation URIs there's no generic information resource URI in the scheme. In BBC-land we try to never expose the information resource representation URIs except as location headers. So bbc.co.uk/programmes/:programme#programme is the NIR bbc.co.uk/programmes/:programme is the generic IR which connegs to: bbc.co.uk/programmes/:programme.html < desktop html bbc.co.uk/programmes/:programme.mp < mobile html bbc.co.uk/programmes/:programme.json < json bbc.co.uk/programmes/:programme.xml < xml bbc.co.uk/programmes/:programme.rdf < rdf etc and the .html, .mp, .json, .xml, .rdf are never exposed except as location headers for conneg on the generic IR and the #programme bit is never used except when we want to make RDF(a) statements about the NIR Wondering if the 303 / conneg conflation will make it more difficult to understand what's going on, more difficult to work with and more difficult to host if you pick up a 303 for every link (as in DBpedia) cheers michael [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg00858.html ----------------------------- http://www.bbc.co.uk This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
