Hi Dan, : Dan Brickley: : : But the Web still works... ...because people are the glue that currently hold it together? At some point, to get this stuff to work without the intercession of people (or at least with minimal intercession), we're going to have to architect systems of reference and naming into our code. We're going to have to pick one. Or work out how to bind together more than one, since realistically there's no way we'll get people to agree to code one and one only. Now if we can't agree here on how many URIs can dance on the head of a pin, or even what the name of the pin is, how do we tell our machines how to agree? The point being that social fictions are not precise enough for today's computers, if we're serious about getting them to interoperate at anything like sentence levels of discourse. So I'm inclined to disagree: I think there are merits in this argument, although grounding it in code wouldn't hurt any. regards, Bill de hÓra
