I've played a bit with several ways of doing it. mod_negotiation seems
to be the most sensible solution. However, I did not find a way to
make it run with non-static files (e.g. DESCRIBE on a SPARQL
end-point). If not using that, then I think the only proper solution
left is to code the content negotiation in the actual web application
(that's what URISpace does, and I think that's what Pubby does).
I reached exactly the same conclusion. I would recommend against the
mod_rewrite hack because it is not a full implementation of content
negotiation. mod_negotiation works great for static files, for
everything else you should probably code your own solution. (And
everyone who codes their own solution gets it wrong the first time ;-)
In practice, content negotiation is quite an interoperability
nightmare. One more point pro RDFa, I suppose.
Richard,
Should we not simply start an updataed version of LOD deployment best
practices in a designated Wiki Space? We certainly need to add the RDFa
perspective which isn't reflected in a lot of current material.
Others: Apace is not a natural Linked Data Web Server. It is a Document
