This is not acceptable to me. I think it is essential that when
a human visits a DC namespace they:
- DO NOT get a redirect (otherwise they will be confused about
what the namespace is)
- DO get a human-readable version of things
I also think it's pretty important that an RDF processor get an
RDF Schema when it visits the namespace redirects are less
important here.
Dublin Core will also be used as plain XML, which is why I think
that RDDL would also be good to provide. It would also allow us
to easily link to translations, etc.
This is why I provided the suggestion I did. I'm willing to
compromise on some of this, but certainly not on the first two
bullet points (redirects and human-readability).
