I have several short questions/comments about this. The first question is related to the interaction between the model being "closed" and the generation of the signature. Should the concept of the model being open vs. closed be part of the API? The second comment is related to noname resources. The sample implementation uses the incrementing genid which is dependant on the XML serialization. I was wondering if there couldn't be a step at model signature generation time that also generated the signatures for the nonames. The idea would be that once the model is stable you can generate a signature for the noname using something like the set of triples for which the noname is the subject using the same algorithm as for models (kind of like mini-models [forgive the Austin Powers reference, I saw a scary mini-me doll shopping last night and it stuck in my mind]:) Cordially from Corvallis, Gabe Beged-Dov http://www.jfinity.com/gabe
