We discuss two strategies, called 303 URIs and hash URIs" 15:08:53 so, this document fulfills its abstract. 15:08:56 this is so important at this juncture 15:09:15 I've already patched the Linked Data page on Wikipedia re. this matter 15:09:44 well, they are important, but this would bloat the article. 15:09:47 also read: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/URNsAndRegistries-50 15:09:54 fulfills abstract if URNs are given coverage 15:10:12 don't force people down the HTTP path inadvertently 15:11:07 this is not the only introduction to semantic web, we deliberatly kept out the more arcane parts where you have no standardized way of retrieving URIs. 15:11:35 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 15:11:35 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2007/05/30-SWEO-minutes.html leobard 15:11:42 RRSAgent, make logs world-access 15:12:15 rrsagent, bye 15:12:15 I see 5 open action items saved in http://www.w3.org/2007/05/30-SWEO-actions.rdf : 15:12:15 ACTION: susie sends a mail to Paul on the segala project [1] 15:12:15 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/05/30-SWEO-irc#T14-07-55 15:12:15 ACTION: leo should collect people that may provide tutorials, and do some outreach to collect more material [2] 15:12:15 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/05/30-SWEO-irc#T14-16-15 15:12:15 ACTION: ivan waits with the invitation to marie claire until the logos are finished.
