Kingsley & All: OK, it took a few weeks to put my thoughts together, but I think you'll enjoy reading this new post called Linked Data: Interpretants and Interpretation. http://phaneron.rickmurphy.org/?p=36 See below for additional comments.

I agree that resource terminology remains an impediment even after browsing the TAG discussions and understanding the background of some key W3C recommendations. I hope Interpretants and Interpretation furthers the long standing discussion of resources and URIs in W3C. If by the essence of the semantic web project vision you mean the 2003 Scientific American article, you'll find Interpretants and Interpretation speaks directly to an updated RDF model theory to support the 2003 article. I don't intend the suggestions in Interpretants and Interpretation as a criticism. It took me more than a few years of careful research and a lot of help from the very smart folks who got us where we are today to understand these issues. >> That being said, I have recommended that the US and UK governments >> engage in creating a Linked Data roadmap.
