Xiaoshu,
The idea behind the short URI statements is to get some input as to what
people's thoughts are regarding URIs. The short statements are therefore
just a tool for helping us to generate a document. They will not form
part of a URI.
The short statements are being collecting on the BioRDF wiki:

Kind regards,

John Barkley has proposed the following examples of short statement:
1. Identify MIME Types of URIs.
2. Identify versions of URIs
3. URIs should dereference to something, even if it is only
documentation,e.g., rdfs:comment 4. Use LSIDs
I might missed a bit of background, but I am not sure where the "short
statement" is going to be put? For example, a resource with a uri of xURI.
How the short statement is fetched? By derefencing xURI or ...?
If it is by dereferencing the xURI, then I have a few questions:
1. MIME type will be known when the resource is dereferenced, why is it need
to be pre-known?
2. Does a URI has version? Or it is resource that has version? I am not sure
what does "Identify versions of URIs" mean?
4. seems to be contradicted to what the TAG's finding[1]. Is there any
compelling reasons to use LSID over httpURI?
