Quoting "ZENG, MARCIA" <mzeng@kent.edu>: > I especially agree with Antoine about this heading ""Library controlled > vocabularies are > expressed as text strings". The text strings are usually used as the > values in practices. A vocabulary itself does not have to be > expressed/represented in only one way. But for linked data it does need to be expressed as a URI, not a text string. And the topic of our report is linked data. Linking is between URIs, and text strings are "dead ends" in the LD environment. They can be used (indexed, compared, displayed, etc.) but not linked in the LD sense. So maybe what we want here is to say that *most* library controlled vocabularies do not have URIs *yet* (with LCSH and a few others being exceptions). kc -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
