To log and summarize a conversation we had. Let's say I create a fixed resource, I pop the integer 3, in a text file, and save it on my server. Now, I'll mint 4 different URIs which all point to the same network/fixed resource 1: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/foo 2: http://bar1.example/foo 3: http://bar2.example/foo 4: http://asldk.example/foo Now, URI 1 uses the IP address and points to the number 3, that's it's meaning, it's just the number 3 (you know this because I just told you, use it however you want when you need to offer a representation of the number 3) URI 2, I've minted because it is my birth month. URI 3, I've minted because it's my partner, Rachel's, birth month. URI 4, Bob minted because it's the number of children he has. these are four different resources, even though network wise they are identical, and that's because the use of those URIs, the meaning or purpose of them, differs. They will be used in different scenarios for different purposes, they just are different. context: this discussion came about because I asked if the URI, or the provenance, was a property of a simple-IR, if a simple-IR were a mathematical function where all its values were fixed, would the URI/ provenance be included in those properties - to distinguish it from the notion of a representation.
