Subject: Fwd: HTTP RFCs as RDF Classes

FYI. This is something I've considered doing in the past, but IMO the  
underlying model issues need to be resolved (e.g., instance,  
representation... hint, hint...).

> Hi,
>
> For EARL reports, ERT WG needs to provide mechanisms for recording  
> specific Web content that may be negotiated between the server and  
> the client. A URI is therefore not sufficient to identify such  
> content (for example, several versions of a "Web page" under the  
> same URL are being served by language negotiation).
>
> In order to be able to identify such content (aka "resources",  
> "delivery units", "Web unites" etc), ERT WG has translated some of  
> the relevant RFCs into RDF classes and properties. The group has  
> decided to publish this vocabulary as Working Group Notes that are  
> separate from EARL because their scope and usage is really beyond  
> EARL only. We plan to reuse this vocabulary in EARL 1.0 which is  
> currently on Recommendation track.
>
> Since this work may be useful to other groups, we would like to  
> have your feedback and input before publishing these notes. Please  
> provide us ([email-masked]) with any comments by Friday 2nd  
> June, or let me know if you intend to provide comments after this  
> period.
