There is little more to whats going on with URIBurner.

Lets say your understood specific relationships exposed via seeAlso, you 
could knock a simple RDF document and the have URIBurner consume it (or 
just SPARQL the resource from its /sparql), then go back to Relfinder to 
see the effect.

There is something that still isn't quite clear about what I am trying 
to demonstrate re. progressive construction of Linked Data Spaces :-)

Static Data is a commodity with diminishing value. We have to be able to 
move from generality to specificity, in an unobtrusive way re. any Web 
of Linked Data :-)
