Assuming that RDF is typical of these kinds of application you mention... If you regard an RDF description as a form of representation, I think the comments made about representations still apply. I don't see any conflict between the viewpoints. (I'll also comment that I think Tim Bray's recent comments are entirely consistent with what I understood Roy to have been saying about the role of representations.) #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org>
