Hi all:
After about two months of helping people generate RDF/XML metadata
for their businesses using the GoodRelations annotator [1],
I have quite some evidence that the current best practices of
using .htaccess are a MAJOR bottleneck for the adoption of
Semantic Web technology.
I agree, and raised this issue with the W3C TAG some time ago. It
was apparently not taken seriously. The general consensus seemed to
be that any normal adult should be competent to manipulate an
Apache server.
(Was yours a deliberate sarcastic misrepresentation of the TAG's
consensus, or a genuine misunderstanding?
A genuine misunderstanding, based on the personal feedback I got, I
admit, rather than a careful perusal of the TAG published decisions,
my bad.
) The TAG has expressed that the fact that Apache needs root
intervention when it doesn't have the right mime type set up is a
serious bug.
Well, Im glad to hear that, and apologize for not knowing it. But as I
said in my reply to Tom, that doesn't help me actually use the SWeb
from out here in the one-way side roads off the information
superhighway.
My own company, however, refuses to allow its employees to have
access to .htaccess files, and I am therefore quite unable to
conform to the current best practice from my own work situation. I
believe that this situation is not uncommon.
So you mean you can't set up content negotiation and redirection.
Right. As I discovered when I was trying to follow the http-range-14
decision and experiment with my notorious 'PatHayes' self-referential
page, in order to bring it into line with the recommendations. Talk
about eating dog food...
But you can use foo#bar URIs like I do.
True.
Will the company allow a mime.types file to include application/rdf
+xml?
No problem there, AFAIK.
