Hi,
It occurs to me that we could extend the idea of content negotiation to
include Topic Map data describing a resource.
As an example, I have extended my Wordsworth Trust sandbox application
so that the same URL, e.g.:
http://collections.wordsworth.org.uk/object/GRMDC.C104.15
delivers RDF if you say you want application/rdf+xml, XTM 2.0 if you say
you want application/xtm+xml, and HTML otherwise. (If you want to go
directly to a specific format, add "rdf/" or "xtm/" after "object/" in
the above URL.)
This means that the same non-information resource URL can be used for
both RDF and XTM descriptions of that resource. Good idea? Bad idea?
