ISSUE-78: Should we have default prefixes and terms for host languages

Default Prefixes and Terms - Harry Halpin

Should we have default prefixes and terms for host languages

State:
CLOSED
Product:
LC Comment - RDFa Core 1.1
Raised by:
Ivan Herman
Opened on:
2011-01-21
Description:
This issue is part of Harry Halpin's original Last Call comment (recorded as ISSUE-68), factored out as a separate issue for a better management.

The host languages have a default profile; the question is what should be the content of these in terms of default prefixes and terms. While some choices may be obvious (eg, prefixes for W3C recommendations), the question is also whether there should be some registration mechanism (eg, like the XPointer registries) to expand the list of default prefixes and terms beyond what could be put there at the moment.

A separate mail thread, started by Shane (http://www.w3.org/mid/4D390F9D.90705@aptest.com), also responded by Ivan (http://www.w3.org/mid/BCEAB8BE-A7C6-4ECC-B8D9-0F1C229E922B@w3.org) is also relevant to this issue

The separate mail on a different issue: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa-wg/2011Jan/0109.html, as well as the wiki page http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/wiki/DefaultPrefixPolicy is also highly relevant

Ivan is responsible for this issue.
This requires no changes to the spec.

Shane McCarron, 2 Mar 2011, 03:57:03

There is now a documented mechanism for default profiles in the specification as well as a method for controlling and updating these profiles:
