Thanks, Antoine, for the info.

Nothing has changed, yet, so your input is helpful. We recognize the issue you raise - we have it too since we use our own URIs everywhere.

To be honest, we're using this informative page as a starting point:

https://wiki.dnb.de/display/DINIAGKIM/HTTP+vs.+HTTPS+in+resource+identification

I was not at SWIB so I did not participate in the discussion. As such, I don't have firsthand experience with the discussion and therefore anything that might have been accidentally omitted from the notes. My general takeaway is that 1) there is still a number of questions surrounding this but 2) there seemed to be a general movement toward changing the URIs to HTTPS and employing an owl:sameAs relationship. That seems to have been the case with Sweden, certainly. And BNF and DNB use HTTPS URIs though I can't seem to find - or am unclear about - the owl:sameAs assertions for those two libraries. (It could be I was looking in the wrong place.)

We're mostly interested in going in a direction that will cause least friction and align with the general trajectory of others facing this similar issue. This is why your example is helpful, since it departs from what we largely see the community doing from the notes of that SWIB meeting.

Do others have thoughts?

Yours,
Kevin

Subject: Re: [ID.LOC.GOV] ID switching to HTTPS

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for the heads-up!

I think I will ask for a double-check: the vocabulary URIs like LCSH will now de-refer to data where the statements will use HTTPs URIs?

Using a toy example...

If Europeana receives statements like
ex:book dcterms:subject <http://id.loc.gov/x>

Then when getting the data for <http://id.loc.gov/x> we will get these statements:
<https://id.loc.gov/x> skos:prefLabel "label" .
<https://id.loc.gov/x> owl:sameAs <http://id.loc.gov/x> .

Is that correct?

If yes, it means that data users will have to rely on owl:sameAs machinery or re-write all URIs, otherwise their data will be 'broken' (i.e. they wouldn't directly get statements about the URIs that they look up).

For the record at rightsstatements.org we have considered the issue and opted to still use HTTP URIs as "canonical" identifiers in the data we serve (though there's HTTPs in the service that provides the data and web pages). And we hope that other actors like Creative Commons will *not* make the move of using HTTPs URIs as "canonical" identifiers, because that would force us to make too many changes (also in non-RDF aware part of the software, and documentation!)

All the best,

Antoine

There is no end date at this time for the 301 redirect, but we encourage everyone to start using the HTTPS URIs once the switchover happens. It'll decrease latency (fewer HTTP calls/redirects) and, of course, ensure your communication with the service is encrypted from the outset.

We will add owl:sameAs properties to those resources to capture the fact that the HTTPS URI is the same as the HTTP URI. To be clear: the URIs for classes and properties of ontologies/vocabularies hosted at ID will still be referenced as HTTP URIs even if the client is redirected to an HTTPS address.

Our thinking presently is to re-issue all the bulk downloads as soon as we can wherein the HTTPS URI is /the/ identifier for resources. What we're not clear about is how disruptive this will be for those of you who make regular use of the bulk downloads. We'd welcome your feedback either way as this will help us determine if re-issuing the bulk downloads with the new URIs is acceptable or whether we need to explore additional options.
