That's a neat trick - I'll want to remember that. However, the created/modified refer to the OL record, so the /about/ bit was supposed to work like the /about/ of the 'cool uri' document. We use the OL URI to identify the Work not the record about the work, so we were struggling with a way to give information about the OL Work *record.* That said, if it's clearer I don't see a reason not to use 'about this document'. I don't know of a case where it makes a difference. > > I committed an adaptation of the Work RDF template in my fork (this is > my first day on Github, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of > it), but I was not sure what other people think* about losing the > trailing slash in Work and Edition URIs, so I left them in at first.

If all is okay, I will send a pull request. Is there a way to test this without moving it into production? Also, there may be people using the RDF API and it would be good to give them notice before a change. kc -- Karen Coyle [email protected] http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
