Re: does RDF require understanding all 82 URI schemes?

To add a voice here from the Topic Map community, where the question of
Subject Indicators have made for a long debate.
The consensus here is quite similar to David's last post.
In short : recommend to use published and stable URI to desambiguate
subjects,
but do not care much for any "universal" ontology and unicity of
definition.
See http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/#desc-subject-indicator

Personal add :
Unicity of definition is a basis for syntax, but not for semantic(s)
If we need to go semantic, it's precisely because no concept has a single
defined meaning.
Otherwise we would just need syntax.

Yours
