I'm working on on tidying LCCNs and VIAFs in wikidata (so they can be
picked up by the new ExLibris PRIMO's person-entities stuff in sandbox
right now) and have a question about URLs on https://lccn.loc.gov/
Coming from the semantic web world I understood permalinks as single URLs
uniquely identifying a thing and the homepage of https://lccn.loc.gov/
suggests that this is the case here too.
But it's pretty trivial to find families of URLs which are all the "same",
breaching the uniqueness, vis:
https://lccn.loc.gov/n98087045
https://lccn.loc.gov/n%2098087045
https://lccn.loc.gov/n%20%2098087045
Shouldn't the last two just redirect to the first, if they need to not just
error out?
cheers
