A client encounters a URI. The client has no information whatsoever about that URI, nor any idea what that URI might denote. The client employs the DAWG recommendation to obtain an authoritative description of the resource denoted by the URI. The only special knowledge required of the client to accomplish this is the URI itself and the DAWG recommendation (and whatever general knowledge needed to apply the DAWG recommendation, i.e. foundational standards such as URI, HTTP, RDF, etc.). -- Glossary: "client" - a person or software agent "description" - equivalent or similar to a URIQA concise bounded description (http://sw.nokia.com/uriqa/URIQA.html#cbd). "authoritative description" - the description published/provided via the web authority of the URI, or by some other generally accepted authoritative server associated with the URI. -- BTW, I think it would be good to start now building a glossary of terms which would be used consistently in our use cases. The sooner we agree about what we mean by particular terms, the better off we will be... ;-) -- Patrick Stickler Nokia, Finland patrick.stickler@nokia.comReceived on Wednesday, 17 March 2004 08:21:23 UTC
