That there is some Semantic Web server, at a different URI, which makes a claim to the effect that the above URI actually denotes some particular product, is irrelevant, just as it would be irrelevant that Google lists some particular URI as representing the Web site of a church, when in fact they recently let their domain name expire and it now leads to a porn site. The only thing one can definitively say about a HTTP URI is what it leads to upon dereferencing, which, of course, can be a constantly changing thing. -- == Dan == Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/
