I would find it somewhat disappointing and inconsistent with the marketing put out by W3C, but I could live with it. Just to clarify what I mean, take a look at the top of the W3C's Semantic Web page, which reads (emphasis added): [[[ "The Semantic Web is an *extension of the current web* in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation." -- Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, Ora Lassila, The Semantic Web ]]] - http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ It would certainly clear up a lot of confusion if we said that the URIs RDF talks about are just random strings, and not related to the URIs everyone expects them to be. -- [ "Aaron Swartz" ; <mailto:me@aaronsw.com> ; <http://www.aaronsw.com/> ]
