Are you sure that Pat preferred "identify" over "denote" as you've presented above? RDF is about IRIs denoting entities. I believe it's been long established that every entity isn't a Web accessible resource. A sign provides signification [1][2]. For instance, I can have an Identity Card that "Identifies" me. In that identity card I could have an sign (e.g., an IRI) that denotes (signifies) me. Basically, the Identity card is a collection of claims expressed as attribute=value pairs that coalesce around the sign that denotes me [3][4] i.e., a collection of statements represented as RDF triples.
