link relations for RDF #39
Description
when working with the SemWeb/RDF community, it becomes obvious that link relations (and any other registries that manage concepts through non-URI identifiers) are a challenge for that community. even if they want to (re-)use those concepts, they cannot legally do so within RDF, because RDF requires identifiers to be URIs.
would it make sense to include something in RFC 5988bis that would allow RDF representations to use registered link relations as URIs? It would not be pretty to do that, because then on the web, registered link relati

ons would be strings, and on the semantic web, they would be some form of equivalent URI. but maybe such a solution would be better than not doing anything, and making it impossible for RDF-based models to properly use registered link relations at all?
