                 Key: OFFICE-2633
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2633
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Metadata
    Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 Part 1 CD 4 
            Reporter: Michael Brauer
            Assignee: Michael Brauer
             Fix For: Task


This is a follow-up of OFFICE-2266:

The ODF ontology files are currently not resolvable at their namespace URI, although this is considered to be best practice according to

Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies
http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-vocab-pub/

which states:

<quote>
Minimum Requirements
M1. The 'authoritative' RDF description of a vocabulary, class, or property denoted by an HTTP URI can be obtained by dereferencing the URI of that vocabulary, class, or property.
</quote> 

The OASIS policies however require that HTML files that describe a namespace are returned when resolving namespace URIs. 

The solution would be to return the ontogy for http requests that contain an

'Accept: application/rdf+xml' 

and to return the namespace description in all other cases.

It has to be discussed with OASIS administration if this is possible.
