Right, but they fail even in that to the extent that to find out what they represent in general people look at the web. And the pattern of using things that are based in HTTP URIs works - things like FOAF and Dublin Core are often used to refer to things that don't exist on the web, using only http URIs and intelligent techniques of identification. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile chaals@opera.com hablo español - je parle français - jeg lærer norsk Web dreams are free: http://www.opera.com/downloadReceived on Sunday, 9 October 2005 20:46:17 GMT
