[fair-data-stewardship] Persistent URL service for semantic-web docs?

[Donny Winston]

I know a couple of groups that use https://w3id.org/ , which has a nice github-based maintenance workflow (https://github.com/perma-id/w3id.org#creating-a-new-identifier).

One example is the LinkML project:
example URL: https://w3id.org/linkml/SchemaDefinition
resolves to: https://linkml.io/linkml-model/docs/SchemaDefinition/
via .htaccess file registered in the w3id.org github repo: https://github.com/perma-id/w3id.org/blob/master/linkml/.htaccess

Another example is this Materials Design Ontology project:
example URL: `https://w3id.org/mdo/full/`
`resolves to: `https://huanyu-li.github.io/mdo/full/1.0/index.html
via .htaccess file at: https://github.com/perma-id/w3id.org/blob/master/mdo/.htaccess

`I haven't used this myself, as I'd like to have more robust `http content negotiation ("conneg")  for my stuff, but what I'm developing for that isn't near done yet or deployed in the field, though it will be open source and self-hostable, and based on ARKs (https://arks.org/), which I think are a nice way to *generate* persistent URLs decoupled from actually *resolving* them (though one needs to find such a so-called ARK "name mapping authority" to provide that service if one cannot self-host, and I'm not aware of any NMAs other than n2t.net , which I don't think you can just use unless you are a collaborator in some sense).

w3id.org of course also requires you to resolve stuff, but the above examples host on github pages and that seems to work quite well.

Best,
Donny
