Picking a persistent URL for this ontology #7

As I'm reading up on how to set up a w3id, I realized that there are a couple options to consider for the persistent URL for this ontology. Here is what I'm considering...

Use the same slug as the GitHub repo: https://w3id.org/credit-ontology Use a nested/patterned URL strategy: https://w3id.org/credit/ontology

I find the second appealing because it feels more elegant. It would allow setting up multiple redirects, for example we could point https://w3id.org/credit/taxonomy at the casrai dictionary entry for the taxonomy, if that's something we would want to do.

@mellybelly Do you have an opinion on this?

@jmcmurry any advice?

jmcmurry commented 5 years ago

Nesting in this case is OK, provided your documentation is crystal clear and you select corresponding prefixes for each of the type-specific paths when doing the curie expansion / contraction. Also, you might do well to have the local IDs have dedicated numeric ranges that not overlap, just to guard against collision (since someone could easily confuse creditont:1001 with credittax:1001 and think that they were referring to the same class).

Thank you, Julie. Since I'd be linking to CASRAI's documentation of the taxonomy for the nested taxonomy link, there's no issue with curies, since they don't use a linked data implementation.

Talked with @mellybelly, we are going to use the nested form.
