nanopub.org not working
Hi. It seems that the website nanopub.org is not reachable: http://nanopub.org/ I think that it is an essential resource for nanopublications. Is it still being maintained? Is there someone that can fix it? Thank you!
Hi @nicola883! Thanks for reporting this. That site is indeed still being maintained, and my understanding is that @tkuhn is looking into this now. That site was mostly just information about nanopublications and how they are used. You can see the contents on a temporary version at https://nanopub.net/ , but hopefully the nanopub.org links start working again soon.
In any case, the actual nanopub servers (i.e. that store/retrieve nanopubs) appear to still be up (see e.g. http://server.nanopubs.lod.labs.vu.nl/ )
Yes, it's a known issue. I have been trying to figure out who exactly owns the domain, which has been more difficult to find out than expected. I hope we get to the bottom of this soon, and in the meantime, nanopub.net has all the info (and more) that the nanopub.org had before it went down.
Unfortunately, it appears that https://nanopub.org is still down (or again, perhaps). Is nanopub.net the new nanopub.org?
Yes, nanopub.net is the new nanopub.org. At least until the person who owns nanopub.org resurfaces...
@tkuhn Thanks for the confirmation.
Is there a reason the documentation links have not been updated accordingly?
@tkuhn Initially I was thinking of the ones below:
https://github.com/fair-workflows/nanopub/blob/2072905fe79b779d04e799c29344a54cc14b8d9b/docs/getting-started/what-are-nanopubs.md?plain=1#L7-L10
However, there's more, see e.g. a quick search for nanopub.org
For example, I wonder, isn't it problematic if you don't control the namespace domain?
