Hi Michel and Fabian,

We've had that problem from time to time and always did a manual fix. But it could of course be done automatically as well. If you don't have such a need, I am happy with it ;-) BTW, the /resource prefix is there mostly for technical reasons (i.e. being able to distinguish between what is a resource and what is some other page in Marmotta). You can avoid the /resource prefix if you put an Apache HTTPD as proxy and define appropriate rewrite rules to /resource?uri=... > And the last question is about LDP: does it mean that LDP is all about > handling "containers", but don't say anything about Linked Data > publishing (i.e. dereferencing a resource). Thats the conclusion from > Michel, and so far it is also mine. But that seems surprising at first > glance.

It is in many parts still a bit underspecified (and in others IMHO a bit overspecified, e.g. enforcing certain vocabularies as system properties). Sergio and Jakob are more experts here, they can help you on this. Note that the feature-complete LDP module in Marmotta is separate to the /resource functionality and is new in the current Marmotta development snapshot. We are planning a release for the next days, so if you want to try out these features, maybe it is worthwhile waiting a bit ;-) Greetings, Sebastian
