To clarify the meaning of the term "URI space" I suggest the following: The term "space" is used in the graph theoretic sense: a _space_ is a container of a graph, a rectangle drawn around a graph to partition it. One can have arcs between nodes in different spaces. For example, the physical space might contain a node for everything which exists in the physical world. The URI space contains a node for every URI, each labelled by the corresponding URI. One might connect nodes in the physical space to URI space e.g. {me} owl:sameAs <http://www.example.org/person/JonathanBorden> For an example of software which manipulates graphs, and uses this meaning of the term "space" see: http://www.ai.sri.com/~grasper/ JonathanReceived on Tuesday, 22 July 2003 20:41:38 GMT
