There is no standardized way of referencing a URI for a category. > Is concatenation(shme, term) a wrong/good/allowed/mandatory method ? This depends on the "scheme". The "scheme" attribute basically specifies how to interpret the term. In the case of Tim Bray's Atom feed, Tim has defined his own scheme, which has the unwritten rule that scheme+term = dereferenceable category URI. Other schemes may use a similar approach, but not all. For example, it would be possible for someone to create a new scheme that dictates that the term MUST be a dereferenceable URI. <category scheme="http://example.org/fictional/scheme"; term="http://example.org/categories/foo"; label="Foo" /> Some schemes may not have any form of dereferenceable API associated (e.g. Google Data's scheme used to identify the entry type) > If it is a forbiden method, will you add an atom:href or atom:uri attribute > to the atom:category element ? > > I brought up the possibility of an @href attribute on category a while back and didn't get a very positive response. - James
