You might want to emphasize the "resource or concept" bit somewhere. I know some people who are thrown off by this and think that persistence and context-independence means it must always resolve to the same kind of bit package. For example, a contextIndependentURI could resolve to a set of nutrition facts and buying information in the context of the supermarket but to cooking instructions in the context of the home even though this seems a bit contradictory at first. -- Aaron Swartz [http://www.aaronsw.com] 4FAC4838B7D8D13FA6D92EDB4145521E79F0DF4B I will be in San Diego for the O'Reilly Open Source Convention the 24-26 July.Received on Sunday, 21 July 2002 17:25:22 UTC
