That does NOT address my concern, for two reasons: (a) it is missing the word "should" or similar; and (b) the word "identify" is specifically defined in the RDF Semantics to be a different notion from "denote", but the definition is so vague the term is essentially meaningless: "IRI meanings may also be determined by other constraints external to the RDF semantics; when we wish to refer to such an externally defined naming relationship, we will use the word *identify* and its cognates." https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-mt/index.html#notation-and-terminology DavidReceived on Monday, 16 December 2013 19:46:15 UTC
