Register CNCF as persistent identifier namespace on the Web

[noelmcloughlin]

Please consider registering CNCF as a persistent identifier namespace on the Web.

Web applications dealing with Linked Data often need URLs that are very stable. Registering CNCF as a persistent identifier namespace allows member projects to leverage the service. For example, CNCF projects publish their vocabulary at: https://w3id.org /cncf/, and potentially in machine readable format in future.

Example persistent identifiers namespaces:

https://w3id.org/cncf => https://www.cncf.io
https://w3id.org/cncf/glossary => https://glossary.cncf.io
https://w3id.org/cncf/glossary/IaaC => https://glossary.cncf.io/iaac # vocabulary, machine generated (CI pipeline)

The use cases and business value derives from W3C Semantic web initiatives, making CNCF data more accessible on the Semantic Web. W3ID.org is run by W3C Persistent Identifiers Committee and scales.
