What happens if I have http://purl.org/dbpedia/Tokyo, which is set to
go to http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tokyo?
I have (a), (b) and (c) as before.
Now if dbpedia.org goes Phut!, we are in exactly the same situation -
(b) gets lost.
No, the idea is that the administrator for http://purl.org/dbpedia/
updates the redirect, to point to whatever new site is hosting the
dbpedia data, so the http://purl.org/dbpedia/Tokyo still works.



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.
