/tms register vs. /tilematrixsets/* URIs, CURIEs

[jerstlouis]

TileMatrixSets URIs include the full /tilematrixset/, e.g. http://www.opengis.net/def/tilematrixset/OGC/1.0/GNOSISGlobalGrid

The register however is at: http://www.opengis.net/def/tms

I was always puzzled why /tms/ was not used for the TileMatrixSets URIs, or why the two are not consistent like the other definitions?

This is posing a problem in terms of using CURIEs per the policy.

Does this mean that we need to use [ogc-tilematrixset:GNOSISGlobalGrid] rather than the much shorter/nicer [ogc-tms:GNOSISGlobalGrid]?

Yes

Looking at both the 2D TMS v2.0 and OGC API - Tiles - Part 1:Core standards, the only mentions of http://www.opengis.net/def/tms are in descriptive and informative text, rather than in normative text. So I think we could register an alias http://www.opengis.net/def/tilematrixset as being the same as http://www.opengis.net/def/tms, and then in future versions of the standards we would use http://www.opengis.net/def/tilematrixset.

@ghobona correct because 2DTMS considers "registered" 2DTMS to be from ANY authoritative registry, not necessarily one hosted by the OGC.
