Best Practices
http://education.data.gov.uk/doc/schools/123456.csv
e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/doc/school?id=123456
e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/doc/school/v01/123456
e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/ministryofeducation/id/school/123456
Follow the pattern
Re-use existing identifiers
Link multiple representations
Implement 303 redirects for
real-world objects
Use a dedicated service
Avoid stating ownership
Avoid version numbers
Avoid using auto-increment
Avoid query strings
10 rulesfor persistent
Avoid file extensions
e.g. http://{domain}/{type}/{concept}/{reference}
e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/id/school/123456
e.g. http://data.example.org/doc/foo/bar.html
e.g. http://data.example.org/doc/foo/bar.rdf
i.e. independent of the data originator
e.g. data.gov.uk and publications.europa.eu are decoupled from
specific government department and could readily be transferred and run by someone else if necessary.
e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/id/school1/123456
e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/id/school1/123457
