Re: Speech Acts, indexicals, REST & RDF

hi Henry,

If you want to use a metaphor of child and the mother, the child say being in the context of the mother's womb, and so dependent on it - then the "direct graphs" is such a thing.

... don't forget the important role of the father.

> The relative-uri-graph concept should help in explaining what is being exchanged between client and server semantically, without having to do this syntactically. This type of simplification could help make ldp a lot more general than other protocol specifications.

General question: with regards to "explaining what is being exchanged between client and server", what did you have in mind for your approach ? Advertising the type(s) of the resource which can be POSTed ?

Roger
