Hi Manu, I'm not going to reply at length, because I don't think it's productive, but in summary: I think the source of our disagreement is that you think allowing more things to be document-local will make things less complex, and I think it will make things more complex. I don't have any definitive proof, just going on experience with various different data models. - Steve On 2013-02-24, at 02:48, Manu Sporny <msporny@digitalbazaar.com> wrote: > On 02/20/2013 01:04 PM, Sandro Hawke wrote: >> I haven't followed all the discussion about dataset normalization, >> and I don't know the algorithm, but toward the end of today's call, >> it sounded like the best option may be something like Create A New >> URI Scheme. >> >> tag:w3.org,2000:graph: > > Hey Sandro, thank you.
