sameAs to include other formats where at least one representation is 'In-Band' #93

Closed bsimons14 closed 4 years ago

Seeking confirmation on the implementation of the 'In-Band/Out-of-Band' discussion (Issue #88 ). My take is: "sameAs" contains links where the identifier (the "@id") is an identifier of an on-line resource for the Non-Information Resource, AND at least ONE of the representations/formats available from this on-line resource is "In-Band" (see #88 for what that means). Other "Out-Of-Band" representations may be available from the same resource through content negotiation. These are also to be listed under "sameAs". So at https://geo.org.au/info/well/107972?f=json under "sameAs" CeRDI has the 'In-Band' ld+json representation available, as well as 'Out-Of-Band' gml+xml and html representations: "sameAs": [ { "@id": "https://id.cerdi.edu.au/wmis/data/gwml2/borehole/107972", "@type": "gw:Borehole", "format": [ "application/ld+json", "application/gml+xml", "text/html" ], "provider": "http://www.water.vic.gov.au" },

The alternative of placing the 'Out-Of-Band' representations (gml+xml, html) under "subjectOf seems overly complicated.

This is my understanding -- yes. Another example would be a geojson representation of the same landing-resource that can give you JSON-LD or HTML.

Agreed we could close on the call on 2/25.
