The conversation then went to something like "the nodes formally known as anonymous nodes" to "the nodes formally known as prince" which then Brian turned to "prince nodes". I think "prince nodes" are to rdfcore as "pumpkins" are to the original RDF M&S. Perhaps a simple place holder until we figure out a better name for this. I think this also should be a lesson to all of us, not to have meeting before coffee is served. :) -- eric miller http://www.w3.org/people/em/ semantic web activity lead mailto:em@w3.org w3c world wide web consortium tel:1.614.763.1100 200 technology square, ne43-350 fax:1.208.330.5213 cambridge, ma 02139 usa
