Richard,

You have to clearly distinguish resource (object / entity) Name from its 
data access Address. Then you have to remember that the name choose has 
to resolve to an actual resource (actual data in EAV/SPO based graph 
pictorial form).

Bearing in mind the above, I can't tell which of the URIs are Names or 
Addresses.

Fine if the URIs above are Names i.e., not Addresses.

That's a function of using de-referencable URIs as Names. Put 
differently, Names that provide indirect access to data via indirection. 
HTTP URIs are a cost effective route to the aforementioned indirection.
