RE: Some TAG review of "Cool URIs for the Semantic Web"

Dan Connolly:

Even worse, the definition of foaf:Person includes the phrase 'We don't nitpic
about whether they're alive, dead, real, or imaginary.' So foaf:Person firmly
includes Odysseus, Batman and Aragorn along with Dan Connolly, Pat Hayes and
others. Which raises the interesting question what foaf:Person is *about* :-)
