Nice work on this piece, some comments: On Sunday, October 14, 2001, at 06:47 PM, Frank Manola wrote: > “the creator of [the particular Web page we’re talking about] > is “John Smith” “ You seem to imply that the character string "John Smith" wrote this web page. As DanC pointed out: "I don't think a 10 character string created a web page." Also, you continually use "the" in your RDF statement examples. Since little-to-nothing is definitive on the Semantic Web, perhaps "a" would be more appropriate as in, "John Smith is a creator of http://www.foobar.org/index.html". > the predicate is the characteristic identified by “creator” As the term predicate seems to confuse a lot of people, perhaps "verb" or "property" might be better. > The triples representing the above three statements would be written: > > http://www.foobar.org/index.html “creator” “John > Smith” Can we use a URI for a property, since literal properties aren't allowed in RDF 1.0. Even better, can we use N-Triples syntax for these statements. You correct this later, but I think it'd be better to keep things correct from the beginning. You might also want to replace foobar.org with example.org. -- [ "Aaron Swartz" ; <mailto:me@aaronsw.com> ; <http://www.aaronsw.com/> ]
