URL for the spec

[bergos]

The spec is currently hosted at http://rdf.js.org/. We are also working already on the Dataset spec. To have more future prove URLs, I propose to create a different repository, which will be used to host the start page. On the start page we can list all specs, libraries, additional documentation, etc.

[bergos]

That would also mean that the URL would change to the repository name, which would be http://rdf.js.org/representation-task-force/ at the moment. We should give the repo a better name, matching to the scope of the spec. It contains the Data Model + Stream interfaces. Let's just skip the Stream part from the repo name and just call it data-model-spec.

+1

[bergos]

Please +1 in the next 3 days if you agree or leave a comment if you disagree. I will rename the repo then and create a new repo for the start page.

if you use index.html in those repos, will we get just

• https://rdf.js.org/data-model-spec (redirecting to add following /)
• https://rdf.js.org/dataset-spec (redirecting to add following /)

?

@elf-pavlik Yes that's how it works as long as we have:

https://github.com/rdfjs/rdfjs.github.io/blob/master/CNAME
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^             ^^^^^

and github pages enabled in the repos

[elf-pavlik]

@bergos https://github.com/rdfjs/rdfjs.github.io could become the index (home) page

[elf-pavlik]

I don't want to get into bikeshedding but maybe we should just call the first spec data-factory-spec, keep the second dataset-spec and come up with name for stream interfaces possibly even splitting source-sink-spec from store-spec which may include RegExp and/or filtering.

https://github.com/rdfjs/data-model/ actually exports Data Factory so naming spec and module data-factory makes more sense to me.

[RubenVerborgh]

Let's not make it too complex people, or no one's gonna use it. factory by itself is already extremely heavy for JavaScript standards, let's not emphasize.

[bergos]

I think data-model is more understandable than data-factory. Also it's more important what your factory builds and Data Model objects sounds good to me for Term and Quad objects. The Dataset spec also defines a factory and that's also what the package exports. That could be also the case for a Prefix spec. So we may end up with a lot of -factory repos if we add factory to all of them.

[elf-pavlik]

ok data-model sorry for distraction

[blake-regalia]

I actually find data-factory easier to understand but maybe I am in the minority :)

[elf-pavlik]

Should we rename this repo to data-model-spec and rename interface-spec.html to index.html so that we have it available on https://rdf.js.org/data-model-spec ?

[bergos]

I made a PR to rename the file to index.html #155 . I think it's not a problem to rename the repo already now. The new start page for rdf.js.org is in progress. I should be able to make a PR till tomorrow.
