I would like to propose a ping relation.

Have you seen Semantic Pingback?

http://aksw.org/Projects/SemanticPingback

It seems unnecessarily complex.

It uses RPC, when a simple HTML FORM can do. Why? RPC was cool 8 years ago because it used XML! Wow! The continuation of this lead to the SOAP bubble, which seems to have vanished in the past year somehow.

So the suggestion seems to be that because blogging used RPC for ping, one should use it too. But since every application developer knows how to parse a POST, and only legacy blog developers need to learn the dying XML/RPC standard, I don't see why we should burden ourselves with it. Neither do I understand why the linked data people are.

Or perhaps I have mised something.

If I have not, I'll repost the suggestion on the linked data mailing list.
