[Cross-posted to the uri list because this is a somewhat general subject, and I hope to get some useful advice.] The current IRI draft (internal latest version at http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/draft-duerst-iri.txt) has quite a bit of language referring to generation or creation of IRIs. I think there are (at least) two separate concepts: - Creating a resource and giving it a name (e.g. domain names, file names, name of database fields, and so on). - Generating an URI/IRI out of various components such as domain names, file names,... In some cases, these two operations actually happen simultaneously, i.e. when I create a new URI/IRI by saving to a specific location using PUT. In other cases, a file with its name is created long before it is exposed over the Web. Any advice on what terminology to use? I have created an issue for this, see http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/#generateclarify-15. Regards, Martin.
