David,But any admin that oversees a DNS server can do the same thing. What's special about purl in this context? Remember, DBpedia URIs are live, so the most important issues are:
1. domain ownership 2. dns admin re. ip address mapping 3. reconstitution of the linked data sets to with the DBpedia URIs resolve. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder& CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
