Re: does RDF require understanding all 82 URI schemes?

You're saying there that you wouldn't choose that URI as a reliable source
for information about a *person*, not that URI. Surely you agree that the
best place to find out something about http://republicans.org/GeorgeW would
be http://republicans.org/GeorgeW ? i.e. URLs are names... but they are
names of resources. If you want to find out about that URL, it makes sense
to dereference it.

On another note, I have been tipped off that the W3C homepage at
http://www.w3.org/ will be moved to undefined:W3C.home.page tomorrow,
although most people won't realise that, because the only schema that makes
this assertion will be defined at http://www.w3.org/homepagemove.whatever/
...

Sometimes it makes sense to encode data about at resource at that resource
address, at other times it doesn't.
