REST defines a resource as a function from times to representations. So, a g-box is a resource whose representations are (a recognized interchange syntactic form of) g-snaps, ie RDF graphs. Will that do? That then has the nice feature that it is 'natural' to say that IRIs relate to g-boxes via HTTP GET and PUT, according to the standard Web architectural principles; but it is also natural to say that IRIs relate to graphs by naming, ie by reference. So we have two parallel worlds: IRI----HTTP/"identifies" ---- g-box IRI----denotes/names-----g-snap and we can state as a semantic rule that when the first one works, the second one has to conform to it. So if your http IRI GETs something that parses to a graph, then the IRI refers to/denotes that graph. Which all has a nice http-range-14-ish flavor to it :-) Pat ------------------------------------------------------------ IHMC (850)434 8903 or (650)494 3973 40 South Alcaniz St. (850)202 4416 office Pensacola (850)202 4440 fax FL 32502 (850)291 0667 mobile phayesAT-SIGNihmc.us http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes
