You resolve addresses, not names; c.f. http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/NameMyth.html A name is a name is a name. I don't see what you're getting at with this "distributed system" stuff. Why would you want to resolve an RDF property value (that's what I'm using it as)? It's like resolving a sentence or something... Kindest Regards, Sean B.
