Avoid duplicate RDFS ontologies by …

Context

Due to a bug in OWL2, we've got two URLs claiming to be ontologies:

  • http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema
  • http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#

Also

A similar predicament exists for OWL ontology itself. We've got two URLs: with and without the sign.

What alternatives do we have?

  • 💡 Filter owl:Ontology instance list by rdfs:isDefinedBy links


    Only show ontologies which define at least one term.

    This does not solve the OWL problem.

  • 💡 Rewrite URLs while loading them


    Replace …owl with …owl#.

Decision

Rewrite URLs.

Consequences

➕ Should resolve both problems at once.
