So taken quite literally, this would allow a Statement to be a triple whose second element is, say, volume 1 of the 1815 edition of Brittanica. (Not an URI of said book, but the actual book itself, with leather covers, weighs around 3 lbs.) So I suspect that the M&S is here, as elsewhere, just being sloppy about the use/mention distinction. At least I hope it is. Pat --------------------------------------------------------------------- (650)859 6569 w (650)494 3973 h (until September) phayes@ai.uwf.edu http://www.coginst.uwf.edu/~phayes
