Ensure the base of the ontology purl always points to the ontology home page

[cmungall]

Is this required? E.g.

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/cl

should point to the home page for cl

The problem in the past has been that it's been difficult to do this for the same with a trailing slash

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/cl/

since this is often a general redirect, but this should be less of an issue with the new purl system.

Alternatively, should this instead be ontologyId + '.html'

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/cl.html

[cmungall]

Should we also have an exact redirect for URLs like:

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CL_

These are horrible, but are often used as a prefix

Id policy says:

Home page: If the ontology has a home page on the Web, it is accessible at http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/IDSPACE. For example the OBI home page is accessible at: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/obi

I don't see a problem with adding a redirect for http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CL_ . However if the primary association is with a prefix I think the page should have text that explains this and shows example usage in a couple of syntaxes. Useful links to home page etc can't hurt being there as well

what's the action item here?

[cmungall]

all base purls should resolve. this may better belong in the purl tracker, may be duplicative of tickets there

I don't have permission to move this issue to https://github.com/OBOFoundry/purl.obolibrary.org/issues Maybe @jamesaoverton can move it?
