I let this go a few times at the ftf, and I'm having trouble following the SOURCE discussions in part because I think folks are neglecting to use standard terminology. I think it's worthwhile to start getting picker. I think you mean graph. "Expression" or "formula" are also reasonably standard terms for such syntactic constructs. "model" isn't a standard term. In the Semantic Web community, it's ambiguous; it could mean a formula/graph, as it often did in the earlier RDF M&S specs, or it could mean a satisfying interpretation. http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-mt-20040210/#glossInterpretation http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-mt-20040210/#glossModeltheory In these protocol discussions, there's also a risk of conflating - a resource identified by <http://...> - a representation of that resource in RDF/XML - a graph one gets by parsing such a representation Sometimes the difference matters; sometimes it doesn't. I haven't spotted any such conflations in this discussion so far, but I figure it's worth pointing out anyway. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
