Correct. Hmmm... We say: [[ we assume that the URI part (i.e. excluding fragment identifier) indicates a Web resource with an RDF representation. So when someurl#frag is used in an RDF document, someurl is presumed to designate an RDF document. ]] -- http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-rdf-concepts-20021108/#xtocid103660 I think the original proposal from which these words were deribed said something like "presumed to designate a (possibly notional) RDF document" -- would that be better? #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org>
