Nonono. In RDF, that's looking into the URI for meaning. It is
(another) fundamental principle of the RDF MT that a given URI is a
constant and it has no meaning in of itself. Looking into the URI
for meaning or processing clues; that's a hack, as you like to put
it.

They're not wrong. You won't find URI schemes in the RDF graph any
more than you'll find XML namespaces.
