prefSlug and altSlug for readable URI #10

Closed SportsOpenData closed 7 years ago

SportsOpenData commented 7 years ago

It could be interesting adding a prefSlug and altSlug for prefLabel and altLabel to make URI readble.

In our case, for example, activity is our entry point (e.g.: soccer.sportsopendata.net): it could be difficult to deliver a service by using UUID.

Using slug (pref or alt) it could be a good solution instead of RESTful way.

I decided not to use a URL Slug based on the label because the labels might change, be substituted for synonyms, or translated. A stable non-readable id provides a better basis.

From the point of view of building this into a service there's no reason why you couldn't choose to use the prefLabel in a sub domain or path component within your application, mapping it to the id internally.

That's great I'm agree with you :-)

Thanks a lot. Rgds. Paolo.
