So we would be unable to talk about Web pages using the Web description language RDF. That seems too strong. Just thinking about this alternative - that 200 responders (for the purposes of linked data) are not considered IRs. Instead 200 implies an assertion (for, say, http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/) _:foo a :information-thing _:foo :at "http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/"^^xsd:anyURI (there exists an information resource accessible at http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/) to which could then be asserted in your favored syntax: _:page a :web-page _:page :at "http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/"^^xsd:anyURI _:page dc:creator <http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/> This effectively flips what is now the default (you would use, e.g. foaf:primaryTopic to go in the opposite direction) Not that I'm advocating this. For one thing there are many information thinks that couldn't possibly be understood as designators. (well, shouldn't ;-) -Alan
