- I'd rather not use a REST URL as the URI. A good REST API exposes version, api method, etc. It's as explicit as possible. A good URI is minimal. It's purpose is to identify a resource on an abstract level, not (in general) a particular version or serialization, not a particular access API. A URI shoudl be short and mnemonic.
- We can resolve the URI to a REST URL instead of action="" I'd actually like that better. Maybe we can kill action="" some day.
@Smalyshev:
I agree with what you said. I'd like to mention a few things:
- for commons data, we may not need a canonical object (concept) URI. At least, we don't need it for the Wikidata use case. Wikidata wants to reference a data set, not the thing described by that data set.
- we cannot drop the file extension. In some cases, both Data:Foo.map and Data:Foo.tab exist.
- csv should not be the default format, since we lose information when mapping to csv, and csv itself is under-specified.
