Hi Carl, > However, if a publisher did not employ this exemplary approach (to > protect their investment?) then (of course) an indirect URI > must be used. If I understand you correctly, I just wanted to comment on this, because it seems there is a misconception that by publishing URIs for concepts a thesaurus owner is somehow giving up their intellectual property. The reason why I think this is a misconception is explained nicely in: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/webarch/#id-access I.e. it's like saying that giving a book an ISBN number violates the copyright.
