I've said that _if_ one defines the meaning of a URI based on the relationships that the URI (ref) participates in, e.g. a RDF graph that contains the URIref as a node, then a given URIref might be present in one or more graphs and such _this meaning_ might be said to be context dependent (each disconnected graph is a distinct context). Saying that is very different from saying that a URI is a context dependent identifier. A URI identifies one and only one resource. That is not ambiguous. Jonathan
