> In the latest release of UniProt (11.3), all URIs of the form:

>   urn:lsid:uniprot.org:{db}:{id}
>
> have been replaced with URLs:

>   http://purl.uniprot.org/{db}/{id}
>
> In general, these URLs can be resolved to a human readable web page (a few 
> are still broken, will be fixed). Some of these web pages may (or may not) 
> be linked to a machine-readable representation via link-rel=alternate.

> As an optimization for "Semantic Web" crawlers, there is experimental 
> support for "Accept" headers (i.e. set it to "application/rdf+xml").
