The way I have come to live with this, for the time being, is that RDF resources are a superset of Web resources; i.e. RDF resources are the same as Web resources when labelled with a URI-without-fragment, but when RDF uses a URI-with-fragment-identifier it is referring to something that doesn't (necessarily) have a direct Web-resource counterpart. I don't claim this is Right or Good. Just a personal strategy for coping. (There's no need to throw out everything just because one part doesn't fit.) #g ------------------------------------------------------------ Graham Klyne MIMEsweeper Group Strategic Research <http://www.mimesweeper.com> <Graham.Klyne@MIMEsweeper.com>
