Hi All,

Here's an example mentioned on another list by Richard Cyganiak v recently:

   <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> foo:uriLength 30 .
   <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> foo:uriLength 13 .
   <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> owl:sameAs <http://ex.org> .

and here's an example of what one would like to achieve:

   "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name" a foo:URI;
       foo:uriLength 30;
       foo:uriAuthorityHost "xmlns.com";
       foo:xxxxx <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name>;

The specific question is, how do you unambiguously identify a URI in 
order to make statements about the lexical form of that URI?

Best,

Nathan

ps: Richard, cc'd in FYI rather than to eat up any of your time :)
