Public Sticky notes

As you've already seen, if you build the next great Web 2.0 site, you can save time if you plan from the start to embrace Semantic Web technologies and turn your Web site into an API, rather than create a separate API for your Web site.

If your Web site is your API, then your URIs are the methods that programmers will access to get data. A sensible, succinct and consistent structure is therefore very important, and you need to think about it in advance because frequent changes after everything is launched will cost the goodwill of your target audience.

One final note: If possible, consider removing file name extensions from your URIs. The filename extensions (.html and .cgi) provide no semantic information that is relevant to the user and actually cause problems in the long run. If you changed your Web site to use PHP instead of CGI scripts, you suddenly have different URIs but serve exactly the same content.
