I encourage you to use hash URIs. You can cross reference these URIs in

1. http://bit.ly/UydU9t -- simple SPARQL based data integration note (I 
even stay away from prefixes when making simple demos) .
2. http://bit.ly/Xk333m -- basic Turtle exercise .
3. http://bit.ly/VaX0zx -- Turtle tutorials collection (all of these use 
simple documents and hash URIs) .
