Referencing and linking are not the same thing; say I want to produce a table of contents of resources, including yours and others, or an index. What would you think if you opened a book and at the front it said "pg 8, pg 32, pg 53", where you expected a table of contents. If you want to know more, I'd suggest that you read.... https://www.cambridgesemantics.com/semantic-university/introduction-to-linked-data Rule 3 is: "When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards such as RDF* and SPARQL." Anyway, I think I have said enough here; it's your website! Phil Lee Feigenbaum <lee@thefigtrees.net> writes: > I don't really find the use cases you suggest particularly compelling.
