Since the representation is bound to change over time (and as you're blithely ignoring content negotiation etc.), you can't use http://www.mnot.net/ to identify the bits. You can only do something like that when you're sure that the representation is fixed - and even then you must be sure to point out that you're identifying in the representation and not the resource to which is has a one-to-one correspondence. It's quite easy to point to the bits in RDF. All you do is use some properties:- [ :theBitsAt <http://www.mnot.net/>; :date "2002-04-11T12-33-30"; :contentType "text/html" ] . Simple. Or you can use a hash as you pointed out (in fact, you can add that to the mess of properties above). -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
