Re: SemWeb BOF @ ISMB 04

If the resource is in a separate file, you could use the URL of the file 
itself, e.g. <http://test/dataset/foo.txt> - provided this is stable.

Linking to sections in HTML or XML files may also be possible, if there 
are @id attributes, e.g. <http://test/dataset/foo.html#bar>.

Otherwise you will either have to introduce some kind of identifier tags 
into the existing format, or, if this is not an option, keep an external 
mapping file (e.g. urn:lsid:test:dataset:foo => line 234 in file foo.txt).

In this last case it may indeed make sense to set up an LSID resolver, 
as nobody else will know how to resolve your identifiers (apart from 
sending a request to your server).
