Relative vs absolute paths for published resources

[robatki...@gmail.com]

I want to include image (graphics) as model documentation and publish along with models.

I can add images to a .www directory and include them using an absolute URI - which is relative to the running server 

so to test I need to put http://localhost etc then update it when deployed to a server -0 and the model is no longer portable since anyone needs to hack this..

so I think images ) or any other resources would need to be on stable external URIs to be referenced in data - i.e. relative URIs only work in the UI context, not the data itself?

Or am I missing something?

Hi Rob,

assuming you may want to publish or share your RDF graphs later, I don't think placing them into a TopBraid workspace is going to be stable or sufficient. And relative URLs sound very brittle - relative to what: the urn:x-evn-master:XY base URI or the externally visible graph URL? With relative URLs you'd be at the mercy of the chosen serialization, e.g. Turtle or RDF/XML. Unclear what it even means for databases.

Can't you just upload the images somewhere else to an externally visible platform?

Yep - will have to do - was just checking there wasnt some way to self-contain ontologies + linked resources...
