Here you have one example of what you say; in this
case it’s not Little Library but Semium Time Vocabulary

Asunto: Re: [BIBFRAME] Bibframe and Linked Data (Authorities)
No, it does not!
We need to distinguish carefully between the URI, which is a pure
identifier, and the URI-that-happens-to-be-an-URL, which is also a pointer or
link. Much of the power of linked data comes precisely from combining those
roles, but that needs to be a conscious decision and not a matter of faith.
{grin}
Let's say that a very small institution publishes a number of URIs like
"http://www.littlelibrary.org/authorities/4535". Then Little Library
disappears as an organization, and its domain is purchased by someone else. It
becomes instantly possible for that someone else to publish anything at all
into that namespace and, if we base provenance on the DNS, we have no way to
distinguish these groups of identifiers. You might say that VIAF is unlikely to
disappear tomorrow, and that's true, but the point is that relying on domain
name registrars to manage the provenance information of our metadata would be
an accident waiting to happen.
