Exactly.

A SemWeb Agent discovers some URI which, given the context in which it was found, looks interesting or otherwise important.  The Agent wants to obtain more information about the URI (an rdf:type would be nice, for starters) but doesn't know where to go to obtain the information.

There needs to be a simple, straightforward solution to this problem.  Imagine a SemWeb-enabled phone or PDA; should that device be required to follow rdfs:seeAlso links or spider a website in search of information about a URI?
