>> Hi all,
>>
>> I have started to write up some proper documentation for link-by-id as
>> discussed on the hackfest (it will land in
>> http://xesam.org/main/XesamOntologyAbout when ready). To this end I came
>> upon some stuff that needed updating in the onto. Please see the attached
>> patch.
>>
>> What the proposed patch does:
>>
>>  * Document xesam:id and xesam:related as mandatedd by link-by-id
>>
>>  * Make xesam:contactMedium a child of xesam:id. This has pretty big
>> consequences - like postal addresses, email addresses and what not to
>> suddenly become ids. Nonetheless I think it is the right choice
>>
>>  * Make xesam:url a child of xesam:id
>>
>> Comments?

> some problems. Namely that I also write in the patch that ids should
> generally be prefixed with an URI scheme (like http://, file:// or isbn://
> etc). I would rather not have to write my postal address in an URI :-)

And I also forgot the attachment. Great! Here it is...
