My underlying assumption would be that the default thing served up would be html, but you could reach the other representation consistently through adding an appropriate ending or whatever would be most suitable... but that people looking at the html should have a shiny red button type clue that there is another way to retrieve the info which is for example as owl.

Yes, I agree.

    I think this should be maintained but not used as URIs for classes.


Why would you argue against using it as the resolving point for individual classes?

Because it includes versions. These are necessary when working across different versions but I do not think versions are needed for classes.

Currently this is not supported at all, correct? I mean you always point at a version. So you would suggest that 'current' should be 'versionless'?

I am suggesting that classes do not need versions at all. Doing reasoning on a per class and per version basis would be bad practice, no? One would expect that the whole RDF/OWL representation would be used for reasoning. I think class URIs are only used as identifiers. This also avoids the problem of ensuring correct older versions for deprecated classes.


How I understood Erlangen to work is that it just makes the versionless URI redirect to the current. So I thought the idea would be that 'current' resolves to the present official (whatever the present official means). If a class has been deprecated then I guess it would have to revert to the last official in which it had existed?


    All the best,
