Not sure why you would want to do this, but AIUI you can use any URI for a namespace (not just URL), including a UUID via the `urn:uuid:c1a3e0cb-5872-4e5a-8dce-b8afc00772db` syntax.
- titanix2 8y agoYou can but most of the time, especially with Linked Data, an URL is required. And sometime even a dereferencable one. So you have this weird situation where you never really know if an URL is "semantic" (just a string actually) or can be accessed. Also having a dependency on the DNS system is a bad idea in my opinion. It's really clear when you read 2 years old semantic web paper and every link is broken. I agree with gambler that GUID + local names is a better solution, and I use that in my research.

- zozbot123 8y agoIt seems rather overengineered to me. IETF and W3C standards do support the general content-addressing, "naming things with hashes" use case via the existing ni:// (Named Information) URI schema (RFC6920).
