Actually, it would be quite sensible to use that URI to identify "Charles McCathieNevile" because the SW depends on contxtualization as well as universality. In a closed world system, it doesn't matter all that mcuh what identifier you use for anything, and even on an open (webized) scale, it doesn't matter too much because of the concept of equivalence. For example, say that in the year 2010, Chaals has the mailbox URI mailto:charles@mccathienevile.info We could say something like:- [ :- <mailto:charles@w3.org>; dc:date "2001" ] = [ :- <mailto:charles@mccathienevile.info>; dc:date "2010" ] . Ah, the Semantic Web :-) Of course, anything that uses the w3.org or the mccathienevile.info URIs would itself have to contain the date of issue. I remain not all that bothered. -- Kindest Regards, Sean B. Palmer @prefix : <http://webns.net/roughterms/> . :Sean :hasHomepage <http://purl.org/net/sbp/> .
