I was assuming it would work like GET - i.e.: #telnet www.ibm.com 80 > Connected to ..... > MGET / HTTP/1.1 > ... returns all metadata about http://www.ibm.com/ #telnet www.ibm.com 80 > Connected to ..... > MGET /terms/foobah HTTP/1.1 > ... returns all metadata about http://www.ibm.com/foobah So I was missing something. That would imply that you can ask other rdf repositories about terms that aren't in their dns. Apologies Patrick - I did have the wrong end of the stick after all. Cheers, Phil
