AW: The "info" URI Scheme - Uri crisis again ! [There is no crisis]

: The same thing with URI dereferenceability: URIs do not have to be
: dereferenceable: Get over it!

well, 
perhaps you are right.

The thing I have in mind is the following:

I build a EnterpriseApplicationIntegration thingy on a
PersonalKnowledgeManagement level,
www.gnowsis.com
There i use the principle to guess the source of the resource by parsing
the uri and then using the Uri to get an adapter to know more about it.

Example:
rdfp://leo.gnowsis.com/msoutlook/mail/00000000ECD4B99358B9814B9DAFE2255C
D8AE9A244E2600

is the email you have written in my personal focus. This email where i
answer has another url.

If leo.gnowsis.com would be a gnowsis enhanced MS-Exchange server, I
could request the author, subject, date, etc. of the email from the
server.
This is exactly what I have programmed in gnowsis.

So I can build a uniform information space, where all uris are in. Every
resource in the world is refer3encable by uri. If the url contains a
hostname, I go there and ask the host for more information.

another example are some files:
file://leo.gnowsis.com/data/Eigene%20Bilder/ is my "my pictures" windows
folder.
I can browse it here locally and use the urls my gnowsis has to enter
metadata about the images. It works, is easy, scales.


why bother with info if it works ????

greetings
Leo
