I agree. Can we all agree to eliminate the use of "existent" (where did that word come from, and who uses it?) and use "resource" instead? Also, if you don't like "resource", you might get more bang for your argument taking it to the authors of RFC 2396 (see, e.g., http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2396.txt) or to uri@w3.org. This isn't an RDF-specific usage, after all. --Frank -- Frank Manola The MITRE Corporation 202 Burlington Road, MS A345 Bedford, MA 01730-1420 mailto:fmanola@mitre.org voice: 781-271-8147 FAX: 781-271-8752
