I think the developer community as a whole should not pay the cost of the use cases of the part of the developer community that believes (out of the scope of this post if rightly or wrongly) that identifiers in data formats should fit into a global naming scheme and, more specifically, that naming scheme should make every identifier into a URI. Instead, I think that the part of the developer community that believes that it needs to be able merge data thanks to identifiers being URIs should bear the cost of doing whatever name mangling it needs to do upon data ingest given the information of which format a given ingested piece of JSON was in.</description><modified xmlns="http://purl.org/dc/terms/">2017-05-31T07:14:40Z</modified></item><item><title>A Lecture about HTML5</title><link>https://hsivonen.fi/html5-lecture/</link><description>I was invited to give a lecture about HTML5 on a course titled WWW Applications at the Department of Media Technology of Helsinki University of Technology.</description><modified xmlns="http://purl.org/dc/terms/">2016-07-26T16:32:45Z</modified></item><item><title>Julkisesti luotettu varmenne ikidomainille TLS:ää (SSL:ää) varten</title><link>https://hsivonen.fi/iki-cert/</link><description>Aiemmin ikidomainille, kuten hsivonen.iki.fi, on ollut vaikeaa saada julkisesti luotettua TLS-varmennetta.
