ISSUE-31

metadataInURI-31

Should metadata (e.g., versioning information) beencoded in URIs?

State:
CLOSED

Raised by:

Opened on:
2002-11-25
Description:
The TAG's preliminary response is that URIs should not include metadata. The TAG accepted this issue to provide guidance on addressing the issues raised.

From Ossi:
To outline the following text, I'm actually suggesting (asking comments for) two rather practical things:


There should be a uniform way to declare version history of web resources (recommended by W3C)?, and more importantly

 There should be a "clean", uniform way to refer to (and thus access) the metadata of web resources?
