The Semantic Web is defined as a machine processable Web of documents providing specific relationships between things. If you're going to say that we *can't* process any URIs, then it's not as processable anymore. You can't force people to dereference and process URIs, but I don't understand how people can refute that fact that it is architecturally unsound. It works, and there is already stuff that dereferences URIs to good use. > If you want to know what my favorite color is, surely > an answer from me is privileged over an answer > from, say, someone who hardly knows me. Well,t his is a simple trust issue. Trust is up to the user... in the case of your favourite color, the issue is fairly clear, but there may be some times where the issue is not so clear. Trust is something that needs immediate development. -- Kindest Regards, Sean B. Palmer @prefix : <http://webns.net/roughterms/> . [ :name "Sean B. Palmer" ] :hasHomepage <http://infomesh.net/sbp/> .
