Martin,
There's not enough context in your mail to really understand the
situation. But Content-Location should be used when a content-
negotiated URL is accessed, and it should give a URL for the specific
variant that was chosen by the content-negotiation algorithm. For
example, if </report> is available in plain text, PDF and HTML, and
those three variants have the URLs </report.txt>, </report.pdf> and </
report.html>, and let's say an agent that prefers plain text accesses
</report>, then the server should send the contents of </report.txt>,
and should send a header "Content-Location: /report.txt" along with
the response.
This is a recommended practice for content negotiation in general, and
is orthogonal to any LOD issues.
Best,
Richard

Dear all,
is this an acceptable practice from an LOD point of view or are
there technical concerns?

Hi Damian:
Thanks for your e-mail! I must admit that I don't get what exactly
you are proposing with

If the location header was set in the response I guess that might

Hi Martin,
Apologies. The perils of hasty emails :-)
I meant setting the 'Content-Location' header, to indicate where
the data came from. It's lighter than a redirect.
Example:
GET http://logs.jruby.org/jruby/latest
=>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Content-Location: latest.txt
Similarly you could try:
GET http://openean.kaufkauf.net/id/EanUpc_0001067792600
=>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Content-Location: EanUpc_range_xxxxxx
GET http://openean.kaufkauf.net/id/EanUpc_0008811127923
=>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Content-Location: EanUpc_range_xxxxxx
Which seems like a reasonable way to indicate they have the same
content.
Damian
