[Sam Hunting] > In a topic map, a human is the ultimate arbiter of subject identity. > Is the same true for an RDF resource? Opinion from the peanut gallery: Given the RFC 2396 definition of "resource", how could it be otherwise? While RDF does not adopt this definition literally (there's some issues with fragments, I believe), it does follow its spirit. Unless and until computers start having human insights into abstract human concepts, how can they decide what a resource's subject "is"? -- P. -- Piotr Kaminski <pkaminsk@who.net> http://www.csr.uvic.ca/~pkaminsk To do: put witty quote here.Received on Monday, 4 June 2001 16:21:34 GMT
