      4. Minting Linked Data URIs / Hosting Linked Data Vocabulary

         1. when a locally-constructed controlled vocabulary (that would be used in the object position of triples) needs to be made into URIs online, how can it be hosted in a  URL location?

         1. if they weren't able to find a namespace for what they want to describe in a predicate, what should they use? 

            1. the recommendation was to use opaque namespace and use predicates there)

         2. are we talking about best practices for minting URIs for controlled vocabularies?

      2. the origin of this request is unknown
