As it is, the data is served using The point is that retrieving http://dannyayers.com/misc/foaf/foaf.rdf might bring in 4 GB of all kinds of information, when what was wanted was 2 kb of triples where you are the subject. If you go back to the original threads on the introduction of URIQA, Patrick defended his decision to slightly extend HTTP for this purpose. I have not been completely convinced so far, but his thinking made a lot of sense to me. I suggest that you read (or re-read) that thread to get clear on the thinking, because I think it is very much on target. Cheers, Tom
