semantic resolution and content negotiation

[VladimirAlexiev]

Eg see how we did it for Getty LOD some 8 years ago: http://vocab.getty.edu/doc/#Semantic_Resolution. Requirements:

• the same URL should serve HTML and various semantic formats
• Use content negotiation to select an appropriate format (content type)
• Use a 303 redirect ("semantic redirect") to send to the final destination
• Ideally: also use file extension for direct links that don't need content negotiation

I guess the purpose of docs/ is something like this. But it's thoroughly broken. See the recipes in https://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-vocab-pub/. You need a simple web server (eg Apache with mod_rewrite) to do the redirects.

Thanks a lot, I have been looking for this information.

For now that docs/ is just a POC where I am testing redirect with static pages - without webserver, instead letting the redirect happen within HTML, if that does not work, we will plan to look into setting up a webserver. The idea is to pick up the the redirect target form the query, I will try some of the mime types defined in section 1.7.1 Semantic Formats from vocab.

For now only one resource is up and is there only for testing (official publications have not yet started on the URL)

• full: https://energy.referencedata.eu/PowerFlowSettings
• single: https://energy.referencedata.eu/PowerFlowSettings/9fe9b47b-468f-488a-bf35-0cf998b5ed2b

currently Chrome will auto download the RDF file, but Firefox will display the RDF in browser

It's especially important about EIC data (#24), because there's no site to provide individual EIC pages or entity downloads.
