Require URIs to be resolvable #43

Closed ddeboer closed 3 years ago

ddeboer commented 3 years ago

URIs are either URLs or URNs. We have previously assumed that publishers will use URLs, but there are now also examples where URNs are used. URNs are not resolvable (are no links), so this makes the dataset descriptions much less usable.

Should we narrow the requirements to require URIs of the type URL (HTTP URIs) and forbid URNs?

Can we force HTTP URIs in SHACL or does sh:IRI always accept URNs, too?

Yes, we should enforce the use of HTTP-URIs!
