It means the web system cannot identify this resource. IOW: it says nothing about goodness, retrievability, existence, etc. It simply means that in the context of WWW operation, this resource cannot be identified. It doesn't even say it isn't a resource except insofar as the web architecture reserves that term to be isomorphic to the operation of identification. That is not the same thing as saying the resource does not have identity. I realize y'all are going to insist on "emergent property of shared information space" but I hope at the same time, the flakiness of that phrase is somewhat apparent. len -----Original Message----- From: Dan Connolly [mailto:connolly@w3.org] > Along the lines of "Anything which has a URI is > by definition a Resource and thus part of the Web. Anything which > doesn't is not. It's kinda hard to say what "X doesn't have a URI" means. It's clear(er) what it means to say "X doesn't have a well-known URI" or some such, but it's tricky...
