Hi there Benny, > the word Web-resource to represent a resource that only > exists on the Web [...] The only resources that are "on" > that Web are Web-resources. Interesting notion. In actual fact, I would suggest that there is a little confusion here in that (as you state) all URIs identify some resource, but some of these are retrievable and some aren't; I would suggest that the ones that are could be considered to resolve to a data:, URI, and so in that sense some resource which is also "on the Web". i.e. a Web-resource would be another URI. > A Web-resource is "considered" persistent if the entity > that the Web-resource maps onto is persistent. Agreed, although there is a sliding scale of both time-based persistence, and quality-of-service persistence. > RDF (should perhaps be Web-Resource DF) But RDF can make assertions about any resource than can be identified, not just resolvable ones: all URIs! -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
