> > Cheers, -- Adrian > >Pat - Could you post a pointer to your paper about performatives please? It was the paper already cited by John: http://www.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/suhl/bizer/SWTSGuide/carroll-ISWC2004.pdf particularly section 5.2. The only place where this has any formal 'bite' is in section 6.2, (top of page 13) which contains what amounts to a 'semantic web pragmatics proposal' to treat certain kinds of RDF graphs as being 'warrants', which are defined in the paper to be a certain kind of social action by an agent. Like any other social convention, this will actually work only to the extent that people agree, implicitly or explicitly, to respect it and act accordingly: but the proposal is at least on the table, so to speak. > >Peter - Apologies if this is "formatted". Eudora sometimes makes >the format decision independently. I have had other complaints about Eudora formatting, which gives some old and cranky UNIX mailhandlers some trouble.
