Jonathan,

Mike can surely speak for himself, but I think he means you can't tell
much by looking at that URI - you need a process to disambiguate.

This is fine, because URIs weren't designed to be self-contained bits of
information about something, they're just names for something - exactly
as OWL and RDF treats them. 

You need more information against the name, as you attest to in your
response - dereference the name and get back some disambiguating RDF.
