Use PURL for dereferencing #14

Requested changes

The use of PURL is common practice in the ontology community (see https://www.w3.org/wiki/Good_Ontologies). Thus, I suggest the following steps:

All versions of GFO are available via their individual releases. The latest version can always be downloaded at https://github.com/Onto-Med/GFO/releases/latest/download/gfo.owl.

Limitations

Registered GFO at purl.org: https://purl.org/domain/ontology_gfo

Resulting ontology IRI is: http://purl.org/ontology/gfo IRIs of individual classes are: http://purl.org/ontology/gfo/<class>

How about a switch to https://purl.obolibrary.org? It has more configuration options. For instance, you can do redirects from PURL to https://top.imise.uni-leipzig.de/ontology/gfo/Continuous_process.

Or, alternatively, without the need to comply with OBOLibrary requirements: https://w3id.org/

There is no official policy on identifier names. The current practice is to claim a top-level directory name and add project specific second level identifiers. For instance, https://w3id.org/PROJECT-ID/SUB-ID.... Shared top-levels are also available such as https://w3id.org/people/PERSON-ID. There is no official list or policy for reserved identifiers. However, the administrators may deny requests for identifiers that are too generic, could cause confusion, are inappropriate or offensive, or otherwise may be needed for future service expansion.

That would lead to something like this (with "gfo" being the project ID):
