Hi Luca, > I'm wondering however if *form URIs* could themselves be resources > rather than datasets. Sure, why not. They're just URIs. > For example imagine the example from earlier: > > <http://bar.com/?subject=http%3A%2F%2Ffoo.com%2Falice> a void:Dataset . > <http://foo.com/alice> <#some> <#data> . > > Instead of being a void:Dataset, the form URI could simply be a new > URI someone defines with an owl:sameAs relation (or other outbound > relationships) to the alice URI, such as: > > <http://bar.com/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffoo.com%2Falice> owl:sameAs > <http://foo.com/alice>; > <#some> <#data> . We have to be careful with use/mentions though. Is bar.com… really Alice, or a document about Alice? And is foo.com/alice a document, or Alice? Only if both are Alice, the sameAs makes sense. If both are documents, they're probably not the same; if either is a person, then they're certainly not the same.

Can I link to triple pattern fragments datasets as if they > were resources? Such as: <http://other.com/alice> rdfs:seeAlso > <http://bar.com/?subject=http%3A%2F%2Ffoo.com%2Falice> . ? Absolutely. Note that similar constructs are already present in fragment representations: http://data.mmlab.be/mmlab?subject=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.mmlab.be%2Fpeople%2FRuben%2BVerborgh contains <http://data.mmlab.be/people/Ruben+Verborgh> rdfs:seeAlso <http://data.mmlab.be/mmlab?object=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.mmlab.be%2Fpeople%2FRuben%2BVerborgh>. (And note the difference between the person and the document.) Best, Ruben
