Description

Right now we have URL http://wikidata.org/entity/Q1 resolve to real data page. However, a lot of other URLs mentioned in RDF dumps do not correspond to anything. Specifically:

http://wikiba.se/ontology - ontology base
http://www.wikidata.org/prop/ - all property predicates
http://www.wikidata.org/entity/statement - all statements
http://www.wikidata.org/value/ - prefix for RDF values
http://www.wikidata.org/reference/ - prefix for RDF preferences

We should devise and implement URL scheme in which, at least on wikidata, all these URLs would exist and lead to a sensible place.

daniel closed subtask T93207: Decide which domain to use for the wikibase ontology URI as Resolved.May 11 2015, 2:44 PM

The ontology base URI is now decided: http://wikiba.se/ontology# (resp for now http://wikiba.se/ontology-beta#). That should redirect (303?) to the OWL document URL, http://wikiba.se/schema/ontology-0.0.1.owl

The base URI for entities on wikidata.org should remain inside the wikidata.org domain. The suggested paths seem fine:
http://www.wikidata.org/prop/ - all property predicates
http://www.wikidata.org/entity/statement - all statements
http://www.wikidata.org/value/ - prefix for RDF values
http://www.wikidata.org/reference/ - prefix for RDF preferences

Though I'm not quite sure whether we should be using http or https here. That disctinction is a bit silly for URIs. is there some Best Practice for dealing with this?

Sounds good.

I am not aware of any best practice re "http vs. https" but all URIs I know are using http as a protocol.

Should it be linked with docs/ontology.owl in Wikibase repo?

As for https, I don't see big need to do https - it's less cacheable and it's not something that contains sensitive non-public information.

@Smalyshev http://wikiba.se/schema/ontology-0.0.1.owl should be docs/ontology.owl from the repo. I don't know what you mean by "linked to" though.

I suppose the file should be copied to https://github.com/wmde/Wikiba.se, an the appropriate redirect/rewrite should be configured there, too. I have filed an issue ticket there: https://github.com/wmde/Wikiba.se/issues/32

By linked I meant some automatic process that makes that happen between repos, but we also can do it manually for now.

wikiba.se part probably needs to be split out since it is a different site from wikidata.org with different codebase (and static one at that which also complicates things).

Another proposal from @mkroetzsch:

I don't know what the implementation status is for generated URIs like http://www.wikidata.org/value/8000228965cf554cf1baf641980f657d, since we cannot resolve them so easily. One way would be to redirect to a suitable DESCRIBE query result on the SPARQL endpoint. But this may require some more implementation work first. I think our main goal should be to have proper RDF replies for items and (all URI variants of) properties.
