<![CDATA[Latest posts for the topic "feature codes should not use https:"]]> http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/4.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net feature codes should not use https: . However, their definitions in geonames-ontology_v3.1.ttl still use http URLs, which means that these https nodes are left without undefined (no type, skos:prefLabel, etc) "Upgrading" the ontology to use https would be a big burden because then EVERY SPARQL query in the world that uses Geonames data would need to be upgraded. It's also pointless, because the ontology (including feature codes) is not served online. So the best option is to change back gn:featureCode, gn:featureClass to use http and not https values. I'm posting this as STICKY because it's a breaking bug in the RDF representation. Thanks! ]]> http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/37583.page#49264 http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/37583.page#49264 GMT feature codes should not use https: http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/37583.page#54953 http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/37583.page#54953 GMT feature codes should not use https: Making the change back to HTTP is indeed the quickest fix  My suggestion pertains to ontology terms and featureCodes/Classes. Not to place URLs.
Consider an updated ontology release (v3.2?) with HTTPS URLs, but maintain the older version (v3.1) 
That will work well: people can load the ontology of their choice. However, the Geonames dump should also have 2 versions. Both using the same https URLs for places, but the two differing as to which version of ontology terms they use. Redirects are useful to ensure that Geonames entity RDF are accessible either way. But SPARQL queries don't care about redirects: they query precisely for the ontological terms that are loaded in a particular repository. So if you want to preserve existing queries, you need to offer 2 versions of the dump.]]> http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/37583.page#54988 http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/37583.page#54988 GMT Re:feature codes should not use https: http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/37583.page#54989 http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/37583.page#54989 GMT
