Yeah, I brought this up awhile ago. This is among the reasons Fred was
proposing switching to using a slash base URI for the ontology. We
better deal with that soon!

This should be working. I will debug what is going on a little bit later
today.
Thanks,
Fred
For your information, this should be fixed by now ;) (just dig-down old
emails and I fixed this issues last week or the one before).
Thanks!

I still rather scratch my head at getting dumped into this "data-
viewer" thing when viewing the url via an http browser. IMHO, the
result (while theoretically correct Cool URI like behavior) serves
almost a disservice when that actual primary representation being
most requested at that URL is a request to get the RDF itself. I'll
probably never redirect my own ontology work this way.
Likewise, I'm just not sure why an ontology defined and maintained at
bibliontology.com should result in some html page at zitgist.com.
Maybe theres a hope that the dataviewer would be a useful tool to
browse the RDFS dynamically, but right now, its not a very useful
tool and I'd rather get redirected to a reliable, static html
representation of the schema at bibliontology.com.

p.s. Something seems very wrong with "server connection resets" when
trying to view http://www.bibliontology.com
