---+Deploying Linked Data Guide - Appendix B: New Proxy URI Formats
[[VirtDeployingLinkedDataGuide][Deploying Linked Data Guide - TOC]]
As of September 2009, the Sponger proxy paths /about/html and /about/rdf have been augmented to support a richer slash URI scheme for identifying an entity and its metadata in a
variety of representation formats.
The proxy path /about/html returns an XHTML description of an entity as before, but now includes richer embedded RDFa. Although some of the examples in this document still
refer to /about/rdf (which is still usable), please bear in mind that this path has been deprecated in favour of /about/id.
The new proxy path /about/id returns an RDF description of an entity, using a default serialization format of RDF/XML. Different serialization formats can be requested by specifying the
appropriate media type in an Accept header. Supported alternative formats are N3, Turtle (TTL), NTriples or JSON. Alternatively, rather than using /about/id in combination with an Accept header
specifying a media type, it is also possible to request a serialization format directly using another new proxy path /about/data. In this case, no Accept header is required as the required
format is specified as part of the request URL.
To dereference the description of a Web-addressable resource via your browser simply type in one of the following URL patterns:
* HTML description - http://<sponger proxy host>/about/html/<URLscheme>/<hostname>/<localpart>
* RDF description - http://<sponger proxy host>/about/data/<format>/<URLscheme>/<hostname>/<localpart> where format is one of xml, n3, nt, ttl or json.
---++ Examples
The examples which follow, illustrating how RDF metadata about a product described at www.bestbuy.com can be requested in different formats, use a public Virtuoso Sponger service hosted
at http://linkeddata.uriburner.com. For more information refer to the [[http://www.uriburner.com/wiki/URIBurner/][URIBurner Wiki]].
Notice how requests to /about/id are redirected to /about/html, /about/data/nt, /about/data/xml or /about/data/json depending on the requested format. The required URL rewriting rules are preconfigured when the cartridges VAD is installed.
