Consider what happens when you want to describe both a) that Seth's Truth is equivalent to the Truth in some other ontology b) that the paragraph identified as http://robustai.net/~seth/index.htm#Truth is not suitable for young eyes. Both are valid, common applications of RDF. You do not seriously suggest that we use the same URI reference, describing Seth's raunchy exposé as the Truth and the Truth as something young people shouldn't be allowed to see? The concept and the text *need* to have separate identities, just as a namespace and the schema defining some elements in that namespace need to be different (one isA namespace, the other e.g. an XML document, with quite different properties and connections).
