Richard > Saying that the “subject” of the person “Tim Berners-Lee” is “History > of the Internet” is a bit of a stretch.

What is the fundamental difference between : On the subject 'History of Internet', see 'http://www.isoc.org/internet/history/brief.shtml' On the subject 'History of Internet', see 'http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tim_Berners-Lee' None of those assertions says how you will *use* those resources : read the story, follow the link, or ask/write/phone TBL himself if you can ... They both say that the resource is relevant to the subject. Bernard <http://mondeca.wordpress.com/>
