I rather liked the GOTO/owl:sameAs presentation … and I am not sure that the problem can be explained away as modeling errors. To me it does seem that there is a case to answer … modeling is necessarily approximate and it is not realistic to expect equality up to some approximation to be an equivalence relation. Yet the Semantic Web is about linking together many somewhat approximate models. I also rather liked the title because I used a similar title on the 9th of November, 1989, at a presentation in Saarbrücken, Germany. My title was [Graph] "unification considered harmful". Given the date and location it was the least well chosen title I have ever used. Jeremy J Carroll Principal Architect Syapse, Inc.
