To add a voice here from the Topic Map community, where the question of Subject Indicators have made for a long debate. The consensus here is quite similar to David's last post. In short : recommend to use published and stable URI to desambiguate subjects, but do not care much for any "universal" ontology and unicity of definition. See http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/#desc-subject-indicator Personal add : Unicity of definition is a basis for syntax, but not for semantic(s) If we need to go semantic, it's precisely because no concept has a single defined meaning. Otherwise we would just need syntax.
