[xtm-wg] Re: Fwd: "Why URLs are good URIs, and why they are not"

Murray,

Check out RDDL, Resource Directory Description Language.
http://www.xmlhack.com/read.php?item=994

An RDDL file at the end of a namespace URL can include links to
DTDs, XML Schemas, RDF Schemas, etc. etc. associated with the 
namespace.

An RDDL file at the end of a PSI URL might contain links to e.g. a 
definition of the subject by a standards body.

Perhaps it might also contain links to Topic Maps with topics 
referencing the PSI. That way someone coming from the standards body 
definition could locate relevant Topic Maps.

Regards,

Iain
