Let me be sure I understand you: You took the image URLs and expected
something else than an image to be served at those URLs ?

No, I took the HTTP URIs that your system uses to denote the data it
creates.

Those you mentioned in your URI verifier examples are both image URLs:

http://www.imagesnippets.com/imgtag/images/kide...@openlinksw.com/Linked_Data_Semiotic_Triangle.png

I've also looked at:

I was hoping that they were proxy/wrapper Linked Data URIs i.e., they resolve to description documents [1][2]. 1. http://www.imagesnippets.com/imgtag/images/m...@carmapro.com/P1010996.html -- which uses an RDFa data island to expose the RDF metadata 2. http://www.imagesnippets.com/imgtag/images/m...@carmapro.com/P1010996 -- this doesn't resolve, but it is a candidate URI for a Linked Data proxy/wrapper URI.

BTW: ImageSnippets also works with external URLs. You do not have to store
the image itself on www.imagesnippets.com.

Yes, that part is clear,

Basically, we generally refer to these kinds of URIs as
proxy/wrapper Linked Data URIs.
The key here is to make your Linked Data as
discoverable as possible, across user agent profiles and capability etc..

You probably want 303 redirects from the image URLs to different RDF
serializations based on conneg - and a 200 with the image itself as default ?

Links:

1. http://twitpic.com/cmw72m -- hash based Linked Data URIs

Yes. Basically, reflecting the duality of Linked Data URIs whereby a single URI enables entity denotation and discovery of documents that describe said URI's referent. 2. http://twitpic.com/cmw52i -- hashless Linked Data URIs as used by DBpedia.
