> I know this is really unrelated to your example Not really, and don't forget that I was a participant in the original discussions that led to RDDL. RDDL is good in that it can be dereferenced in many ways (er.. I mean it can lead to many schemas)... but RDDL for the purpose of RDF mechanisms wouldn't be all that complicated at the mo':- 1. XHTML 2. XML RDF 3. N3 4. Tab Delimited Triples 5. semEnglish But yes, it's an interesting thing to note. The purpose of my original note (just in case it wasn't obvious), was to portray a watertight example of where derferencing a URI is useful to a system. It won't always be useful, in fact in the majority of times it won't be... but there are still thousands of examples of where it is. "Vancing upon URIs" has to become accepted for the SW to reach it's full potential. Usually, this is the sort of thing that inspires hours of completely pointless debate - this happens because it is all abstract discussion and we all talk past each other. By being pragmatic, we can actually reach conclusions that may be of some worth in the future to SW discussions. The example I gave was evidence to my theory that deferencing URIs can sometimes give vital information that could not otherwise be obtained. I believe this to be true within many certian contexts of SW processing. -- Kindest Regards, Sean B. Palmer @prefix : <http://webns.net/roughterms/> . [ :name "Sean B.
