hasURL

use of "URL"

vs URI

  • What's the Difference Between a URI and a URL? :

    • "If the protocol (https, ftp, etc.) is either present or implied for a domain, you should call it a URL—even though it’s also a URI."
  • the terms URI and IRI might represent more general and accessible concepts, but

vs site

  • [c] better to use hasSite when appropriate?
    • t.2023.04.08 Why? You can probably tell from the URL whether there's a site to back things up. keep it simple

possible alternatives

vs vcard:url (Private)

  • url is shorter than hasUrl
  • hasUrl probably reads better

vs foaf.homepage

"Has URL" is like foaf.homepage, but homepage (in the sense of a personal web site) feels almost antiquated.

"homepage" hasSense

  • the "first page you go to on a site",
    • i.e. the high-effort page nobody sees any more
  • the browser home page

vs identifier

  • Data Model - schema.org
    • "in most cases there is a conventional short name for most identifier schemes"
    • unrelated: "we do not treat isicV4 as a subproperty of identifier since it serves to identify a category not an individual Thing" -- categories need identifiers too!
      • [2021-10-20] I think what I meant here was "categories are things too"
