There is no http://www.foo.bar/* way to refer > to the whole site as a URI. Though one can model it quite easily in RDF:- @prefix log: <http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/log#> . [ log:uri [ log:startsWith http://example.org/ ] ] . Not all that helpful in this context, perhaps... > We should have a FAQ on "why do all the web specifications > say URIs and all the pages contain URLs?" URL is becoming more and more of a deprecated term within the development community, and hopefully that will speard over into the "non-geek" world, although don't bet on it. For those still wondering what URIs and URLs are... Dan Connolly recently wrote a good piece on URIs, URI References, and all of the terminology:- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2001Sep/0273 - URI terminology demystified and there's more at the W3C's addressing site:- http://www.w3.org/Addressing/ Hope that helps, -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
