At least, not until you say whether the value - the second http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html in the triple - is a resource or a literal. Remember, to date we can still use either as the object of a statement. If it's a literal, maybe this could work. But if it's a resource, it's fair game to be the subject of another statement, and we are about to get mightily confused. After all, we could be able to logically conclude that http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html is both a person and intellectual content. Perhaps that is true for Mark (I've never met him in person), but unlikely to be the kind of thing we want to imply in general. I guess we could get really radical here and say that that we alway have to use templates for the predicate to provide a context for understanding the nature of a resource in a statement. That doesn't appeal to me so I hope we don't have to end up there. Probably it only pushes the issue up a level anyway. > > ... > > http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html dc:Creator > > http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html > > > > then it can inferred that one of these is a person or organisation and > the > > other something with intellectual content.
