We noticed you use https://pav-ontology.github.io/pav/, which hasn't changed for 9 years. It's not clear what is the stability of this URL . There is http://purl.org/pav/2.3/html but it isn't served properly. It would be nice if this can be looked into, but this is not blocking.

We noted some properties (dcat:previousVersion, dcat:hasCurrentVersion) were used by only one vocabulary but their usage seems straighforward.

Transition approved.

It would be nice if this can be looked into, but this is not blocking.

I looked into it. http://purl.org/pav/2.3/html redirects to https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pav-ontology/[email protected]/pav.html, which in turns relies on github (I doubt that they persistently cache it). So in the end, the stability of all these URLs (including the currently used https://pav-ontology.github.io/pav/) depends on github continuing to serve them.

http://purl.org/pav/2.3/html would still be a better choice than the "evergreen" https://pav-ontology.github.io/pav/, but again, I suspect that JsDeliver serving HTML files as text/plain rather than text/html is a feature rather than a bug, because it guesses many other content types correctly.

I raised an issue but I'm not holding my breath for a response...

Closing, as the Proposed Recommendation has been published: pav-ontology/pav#11
