2015-04-08 Thread daniel
daniel added a comment. @mkroetzsch: You say that changing the URIs does not solve the problem of breaking changes to an ontology. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that if I run a SPARQL query using the base URI http://acme.com/onto1, but the triple store now uses http://acme.com/o

mkroetzsch added a comment. @daniel Changing URIs of the ontology vocabulary is "silently producing wrong results" as well. I understand the problems you are trying to solve. I am just saying that changing the URIs does not actually solve them. @adrianheine You are right. My example was less su

2015-03-22 Thread daniel
daniel added a comment. @mkroetzsch I think I see your point about "another breaking change" now: If a dataset used to contain objects using URIs based on http://acme.test/onto1, and that changes to http://acme.test/onto2, the same query against the dataset would return objects with completely

mkroetzsch added a comment. @daniel It makes sense to use wikibase rather than wikidata, but I don't think it matters very much at all. We should just define it rather sooner than later. As for the versioning, I don't see how to convince you. Four more attempts: - Try to apply your proposal to

daniel added a comment. Regarding the version in the ontology URI: I think this is actually very important, since it allows us to make breaking changes to the ontology. People checking for the exact URI is exactly what we want. Fun fact: XSD uses the same URI for 1.0 and 1.1, but *completely* c

mkroetzsch added a comment. Hi Daniel. Good point, I agree that this should change. A URL based on wikiba.se seems to be the best. I don't think we need to worry about domain ownership here (why would anybody sell this domain? Is it not WMF-owned?) I think it is not a good idea to change ontoo
