The distinction I had in mind was that in case (a), the matching is performed externally by some tool and never appears explicitly in an RDF model. Rather, a model just contains statements resulting from application of such a tool. This has the disadvantage that it cannot create descriptions applying to changes in (say) a web site after the tool is originally run. I think we're broadly in understanding about case (b). I do have mild reservations about using regexp here; it feels like mixing up the layers (lexical and logical). But I could probably be persuaded it's the only/reasonable way for some applications. #g ------------ Graham Klyne (GK@ACM.ORG)
