So while I thought <http://oskar.twoday.net/> shouldnt be used to refer to the Blog as "the collection of posts", you seem to say now that the HTML-document returned by the server might well be taken as a suitable representation of it. Therefore (if I understand you correctly), <http://oskar.twoday.net/> *can* be used in RDF to refer to the thing known as "Oskars Blog" in the real world. Now isnt this a direct contradiction to the starting point, when TBL wrote: > The moment a server returns 200 OK for a request to the URI, it is > saying it identifies a document. Identifiying a document is not the same as identifying a blog, even if the document is part of the blog. I can make statements about this one document that are not true for the blog and vice versa. Whats the point I'm missing? Or am I being fussy here again? ;) Thx Oskar
