I used the term 'page at' here as a shorthand for 'document for which one obtains a representation by dereferencing the URI'. Roy's comments point to a flaw in this... Maybe colour wasn't such a good example, but I think could adapt the idea. Suppose I designed and built the car. Then I authored a document describing the car, and posted that document on the web. So we might have: <http://example.org/myCar> ex:madeBy ex:Me . I think that this assertion could reasonably be an enduring truth, whether <http://example.org/myCar> identifies the document or the car it describes. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org>
