A lot of the heat in this discussion seems to come from the cases where they diverge, so A is asserting a triple using B's URI. > >> Exactly what this means, and what >> relationships there might be between the resource they come from, the >> representations extracted from that resource using other Web >> protocols, and what the concept name should be understood to denote, >> can all be discussed at more length; but at least that would give us >> a piton to nail into the rock. > >Actually, I can't separate what you're talking about here from the >general "what does a URI mean" question, sorry. Oh, please. Did I use the M-word anywhere in that? Ive been trying to find ways of completely avoiding ever saying 'meaning' when referring to URIs. Provenances could be genuinely architectural. Meanings are another matter altogether.
