Phil Archer hat eine Studie zur Gestaltung von URIs veröffentlicht. Praktischerweise gibt er eine knackige Zusammenfassung in Form von 10 Regeln, die es zu beachten gilt:

Follow the pattern e.g. http://{domain}/{type}/{concept}/{reference}	Avoid stating ownership e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/ministryofeducation/id/school/123456
Re-use existing identifiers e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/id/school/123457	Avoid version numbers e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/doc/school/v01/123456
Link multiple representations e.g. http://data.example.org/doc/foo/bar.rdf e.g. http://data.example.org/doc/foo/bar.html	Avoid using auto-increment e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/id/school/123456 e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/id/school/123457
Implement 303 redirects for real-world objects e.g. http://www.example.com/id/alice_brown e.g. http://www.example.com/doc/alice_brown	Avoid query strings e.g. http://education.data.gov.uk/doc/school?id=123456
Use a dedicated service i.e. independent of the data originator	Avoid file extensions http://education.data.gov.uk/doc/schools/123456.csv

Die Erläuterungen zu den einzelnen Thesen sind unbedingt zu lesen, und zwar in der “Study on Persistent URIs with identification of best practices and recommendations on the topic for the Member States and the European Commission”.
