WWW2006 Workshop: Identity, Reference, and the Web

Dear all,
I would like to highlight a workshop I participated in at the W3C conference
in Edinburgh on the topic: Identity, Reference, and the Web. 

People like Dan Connoly, Henry Thompson and Tim Berners-Lee from W3C, Steve
Pepper from the Topic Maps camp, Pat Hayes and Peter F. Patel-Schneider with
a long background in the AI community, presented some really clarifying
papers and the discussions were very interesting and highly related to our
task in the BioRDF group putting together URI Best Practices.
