I idly wonder if you could use the RFC HTTP for the ns.
I was thinking further that not only should the URI point to the directory in which the RFC is located, but the same directory should contain an OWL description of the resources. Using content negotiation, a browser would thereby download the RFC in html or text format, but a RDF agent would download the OWL file describing the ontology behind the format.
There are many ways of doing this. This is the way things are organized for the Biography ontology at
<http://vocab.org/bio/0.1/>
The above URI gives you an overview of the Biography terms.
Each of the terms is then seperately defined in its own directory. For example the
<http://vocab.org/bio/0.1/Birth> uri, leads one to both the html or the rdf version of the definition, depending on content negotiation. The same uri the provides a machine readable and human readable definition.
In the case of Atom this would mean there would be a
http://ietf.org/somedir/atom/1.0/
directory in which the RFC would be located, in text and perhaps html form.
There would then be further directories such as
http://ietf.org/somedir/atom/1.0/Feed
Which would contain the html and rdf/owl definition of a Feed object.
This would be so cool!
