Team Comment on URISpace Submission

W3C is pleased to recieve the URIspace submission from Akamai.

The URIspace specification gives a vocabulary of XML elements for describing patterns of URIs; this vocabulary would be mixed with other vocabularies that associate metadata with URIs. It relates to the following W3C Activities:

Metadata

In the RDF Interest Group, which tracks RDF experience, applications, and deployment an issue has been opened requesting clarification about the aboutEachPrefix mechinism from RDF, which is similar to URIspaces.

Privacy

Appendix C of the URIspace specification suggests an alternative way to use URIspaces with P3P, not compliant with P3P version 1 as specified.

See also: WebDAV RFC2518 section 5 Collections of Web Resources.

Next Steps

The submission will be brought to the attention of the RDF Interest Group and the P3P Specification Working Group.
