[tdwg-content] W3C best practices for publishing RDF vocabularies

A very convenient solution, which I think meets the best practices described in this document, is to have your ontology included in Ontobee: 

http://www.ontobee.org/

If you set up the term identifiers to redirect to Ontobee (e.g by using PURLs), then an RDF document describing the term (without including the entire ontology) will be returned to the requestor. For example, "antenna" from HAO:

http://www.ontobee.org/browser/rdf.php?o=HAO&iri=http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HAO_0000101

If you "View source" you will see the RDF.
