Peter-- You made a last call comment "Can RDF say anything about anything?" captured in http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#pfps-15 The RDFCore WG has resolved http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Mar/0068.html to accept this comment, and has given me editorial discretion to amend the Primer in light of the comment. What I propose is to change the text that you mentioned in your comment (in Section 3.2 of the Primer) from: "These examples also illustrate one of the basic architectural principles of the Web, which is that anyone should be able say anything they want about existing resources [BERNERS-LEE98]." to "These examples also illustrate that anyone should be able to freely make additional RDF statements about a resource, using any RDF vocabulary they please. This is in keeping with a basic architectural principle of the Web: "The Web works though anyone being (technically) allowed to say anything about anything" [BERNERS-LEE98], although in these examples the principle is necessarily restricted to those statements that can be expressed in RDF." This is recorded in the Primer Editors Draft change list as primerLCC-019. Please reply to this email, copying www-rdf-comments@w3.org indicating whether this decision is acceptable. -- Frank Manola The MITRE Corporation 202 Burlington Road, MS A345 Bedford, MA 01730-1420 mailto:fmanola@mitre.org voice: 781-271-8147 FAX: 781-271-875
