« The last axiom in the ontology is necessary to derive the mentioned conclusion; without it, the open-world semantics of OWL 2 would allow for situations where a:Quagmire is the same as a:Peter, a:Lois, a:Stewie, a:Meg, a:Chris, or a:Brian. » heaven forbid

@gaditb amusingly i think the most practical application for knowing the “heat” of URLs is with webcrawlers so they know how often to recrawl

@gaditb (for pURLs that aren’t MEANT to be dereferencable, see `tag:`, `urn:fdc:`, and `urn:uuid:`, among others)

@gaditb it is a useful concept in library science! altho the term of art there is “persistent identifier”. see https://arks.org/

it would also be a useful concept on the fediverse if fedi developers ever bothered to read a book on information science

@gaditb @cpsdqs magnet identifiers are often not dereferencable–they require peers. IPFS presumably as well.

for data: URIs, you do have to qualify “dereferencable” specifically to mean “on the Web”; data: URIs can always be converted into a stream of bytes, but it is an embedded stream, not a stream accessible using the Internet

(consequently, you can’t have two data: URI resources which link to each other)

@gaditb mhm

in practice you can’t have a URL be both frozen and dereferencable but it’s really easy to have a URL which is frozen and not dereferencable!

@gaditb all URIs are structurally immutable…… they are strings………

girls who hate the Activity Vocabulary

only write HTML if u mean it

foiled also by the problem of decidability but that’s nothing new

servo, it’s cute that you added tabs to your browser but you still can’t right‐click

this website is such hacky shit but you know what! i don’t care!!

foiled by macOS case‐insensitivity yet again

Cool URIs don’t change
