Interesting. I was thinking of suggesting that the main CRM Linked Data
resource adopts exactly this approach. Linked Data identifiers are
meant to be persistent, as far as possible, and we saw this week that
random decisions by ICOM editors have led to changes in element and
property labels. With the current strategy, these changes will have to
be propagated into the Linked Data URLs, making the CRM as bad as
dbpedia when it comes to stability of URLs over time. (In Wikipedia,
anyone can change the title of a page to help disambiguate it. When
they do, the corresponding dbpedia URL has to change.)
