Ah, I'd missed that. We could identify the b-node: [[ <rdf:Description> <dc:title>The Stand</dc:title> <dc:creator>Stephen King</dc:creator> <foaf:maker> <foaf:Person> <foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf rdf:resource="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_King" /> </foaf:Person> </foaf:maker> <dc:format>Book</dc:format> <foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf rdf:resource="http://www.stephenking.com/pages/works/stand/" /> </rdf:Description> ]] But that requires knowing that foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf is inverse functional (which it is) and applying the inferencing. Do we want to do that? If not, then we need to have the publisher introduce a URI for the work - it just has to be a different URI to the source document. > > > Dan may disagree with the claim that > > > > http://www.stephenking.com/pages/works/stand/ > > > > Does not identify the novel. > > Indeed, I do.

Well, that one was food for thought. I won't bore you with the details of where that one took me. My conclusion is that whether or not the example is ok is a social not a technical question. Given that the URL http://www.stephenking.com/pages/works/stand/ identifies the work titled "The Stand" written by Steven King, which of the following do we think it ok to return as the result of a GET on that URL: 1. A rendition of Eskimo Nell 2. A page describing the work 3. A redirect to a page describing the work 4. A page containing the text of the novel If 1 or 2 is acceptable, then the example is fine as is. Note, if we feel that 1 or 2 is acceptable, this implies that: <http://www.stephenking.com/pages/works/stand/> dc:title ?foo Does not entail HttpGet(<http://www.stephenking.com/pages/works/stand/>) dc:title ?foo If we are ok with that then the example is fine as is.
