Ok that seems to work. It does make us explicitly issue a ID to every statement
and explicitly place each statement in its context(s). Do you really think
people are going to do that and/or programmers are going to program applications
to read and write it?
Whereas if we make it easy to record the intended context of our RDF statements,
I think it is more likely to catch on and actually be used:
<rdf ......... context="robustai.net:/topics/election2000USApresidential" >
<description about="Bush">
<wonThe>Electorial College Vote</wonThe>
</description>
<description about="Gore">
<wonThe>Popular Vote</wonThe>
</description>
</rdf>
This way we let the system do the work. Isn't usability important anymore?
