RFC 2396 says: "A resource can be anything that has identity". Gee thats helpful in designing tools! :-). I think my point still stands: "the answer to the question "what is a resource". As the W3C RDF activity has found (in my opinion), it is no longer sufficient to gloss over this by saying "whatever you want". It may indeed be necessary to allow it to be "whatever you want" but there must be some constraints if we are to build useful tools to deal with resources: "whatever you want, but you say what it is as follows....so that we can design tools which will do the following...." -----Original Message----- From: Roy T.
