My point is: the RDF spec should say RDF describes things via URI references as outlined in RFC2396, full stop. I.e. stop trying to define a special notion of 'resource'/'thing'/'entity' in the RDF spec - it *is* whatever can be referred to by a URI reference. The RFC2396 definitions of Resource, Entity, URI, URI reference, etc are all normative and sufficient. regards Lee begin 600 winmail.dat M>)\^(@80`0:0"``$```````!``$``0>0!@`(````Y`0```````#H``$(@`<` M&````$E032Y-:6-R;W-O9G0@36%I;"Y.;W1E`#$(`06``P`.````T0<&``8` M$0`6``0``P`2`0$@@`,`#@```-$'!@`&`!$`%@`$``,`$@$!"8`!`"$```!& M-D$X1C,S.4$P-3E$-3$Q04(P0C`P,3`U031#1#=!-P`J!P$$@`$`'0```%)% M.B!R9&9M<RUR97-O=7)C92US96UA;G1I8W,`E@H!#8`$``(````"``(``0.0 M!@"@"0``-`````,`"5D!`````P#>/Z]O```#`#8```````,`&8`((`8````` M`,````````!&`````%*%```G:@$`'@`:@`@@!@``````P````````$8````` M5(4```$````$````.2XP``L`&X`((`8``````,````````!&``````:%```` M`````P`(@`@@!@``````P````````$8``````84````````+``"`""`&```` M``#`````````1@`````#A0````````L`'X`((`8``````,````````!&```` M``Z%`````````P`"@`@@!@``````P````````$8`````$(4````````#`""` M""`&``````#`````````1@`````1A0````````,`(H`((`8``````,`````` M``!&`````!B%````````'@`Q@`@@!@``````P````````$8`````-H4```$` M```!`````````!X`,H`((`8``````,````````!&`````#>%```!`````0`` M```````>`#.`""`&``````#`````````1@`````XA0```0````$````````` M"P`[@`@@!@``````P````````$8`````@H4```$````"`0D0`0```.`#``#< M`P``$`8``$Q:1G62H&>8`P`*`')C<&<Q,C7B,@-#=&5X!4$!`P'W_PJ``J0# MY`<3`H`/\P!0!%8_"%4'LA$E#E$#`0(`8VCA"L!S970R!@`&PQ$E]C,$1A.W M,!(L$3,([PGWMCL8'PXP-1$B#&!C`%"S"PD!9#,V%E`+IB`!`&)H!;!A(%L` MP`,0=$AO.F(#$&Q`'/0N%0/0;A0@+@6@+G5KV%T@=P-@#K`Z"J(*@.(^']4Z M($P)X!_&(0>$($D#H&UY('`8(+QV:0A@!"`=<AU0,A]0-DDB0`GP="+`'L!D M((YT$^`%0`.1=6YA!M`,:6<BPPZP<FT@*#!E+F<N"N,@@R=2!P$0!)`)\&-E M)RD@DG,=$'5L)$!B92305Q00)$`+@',.L&$D0&_V9B;0&"!S"&$G827@"X#C M)%$H,%)$1B>@"?`4$-PI+"9(`'`D16D%0">X]P$!"X`D,6$E@2I1).`D`<LI M$BI"9`0`:F\+@"QQXQ0@!"`G55(CH"!'&"#[)Q8KPR<`<`(@!L`BTC"XFBX?
