ISSUE-105: Graphs, datasets, authoritative representations, and content negotiation

datasets-webarch

Graphs, datasets, authoritative representations, and content negotiation

State:

CLOSED

Product:

RDF Concepts

Raised by:

Richard Cyganiak

Opened on:

2012-11-07

Description:

According to AWWW, a URI owner may supply *authoritative representations* of the resource identified by that URI, and doing so is a benefit to the community [1].

Also, if a URI has multiple representations associated (via content negotiation), then fragment identifiers should be used consistently between these representations [2].

AWWW also states: “By design, a URI identifies one resource. Using the same URI to directly identify different resources produces a URI collision. Collision often imposes a cost in communication due to the effort required to resolve ambiguities.” [3] Given that RDF graphs and RDF datasets have disjoint definitions in RDF Concepts, this raises the question whether content negotiation can be used to negotiate between a graph-bearing format and a dataset-bearing format.

This raises a number of questions that this WG should be able to answer:


a) Is a Turtle file published at <xxx> containing the triple ":a :b :c" equivalent to this TriG file?

{ :a :b :c }

b) Is a Turtle file published at <xxx> containing the triple ":a :b :c" equivalent to this TriG file?

<> { :a :b :c }

c) If a Turtle file containing the triple ":a :b :c" is published at <xxx>, and the publisher also wants to provide a TriG file via content negotiation (containing only a single graph), what would that equivalent TriG file be? Or would this be a URI collision?

d) Given that publishers should use fragment identifiers with consistent semantics between content-negotiated representations, what restrictions does this TriG file, published at <xxx>, place on the use of the yyy fragment in other representations of <xxx>? What about Turtle representations? What about HTML representations?

<#yyy> { :a :b :c }

e) Does the following TriG file published at <xxx> establish an authoritative representation for <yyy>?

<yyy> { :a :b :c }

f) Does the following TriG file published at <xxx> establish an authoritative representation for <xxx#yyy>?

<#yyy> { :a :b :c }
