Anything with identity can be represented on the Web. Real numbers are not countable, but that isn't the same thing as not being identifiable. It just means that, given one real, there's no "next largest" real. For example, here's some possible URIs for some transcendentals; http://numbers.example.org/transcendental/pi http://numbers.example.org/transcendental/e > Well, if you baulk at things as intangible as real numbers, how about > points on a line, No problem. Pick one and I'll give you a URI for it. 8-) I can give you a URI for the whole line too, or for a segment of it, or anything else identifiable about it.
