RDF uses a URI to identify a resource. Well, what happens if we have a
single resource identified by two different URIs. For example, say both
the following URIs identifies a particular DTD:
[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd
[2] urn:publicid:-:W3C:DTD+HTML+4.01:EN
Also, say we have two RDF documents:
[3] <rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.0/">
<rdf:Description
rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"
dc:creator="Dave Raggett"
dc:creator="Arnaud Le Hors"
dc:creator="Ian Jacobs" />
</rdf:RDF>
[4] <rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.0/">
<rdf:Description
rdf:about="urn:publicid:-:W3C:DTD+HTML+4.01:EN"
dc:publisher="World Wide Web Consortium" />
</rdf:RDF>
Well, if the two RDF graphs are merged, then what would the resulting
graph look like? Both describe the same (addressable) resource;
however, they have different URIs. I am a little confused.
