Hi, For those who don't follow it, there's a thread on httpRange-14 / Issue-57 at the moment on the linked data mailing list. A good example message is: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2011Jun/0186.html where Richard says: Being useful trumps making semantic sense. The web succeeded *because* it conflates name and address. The web of data will succeed *because* it conflates a thing and a web page about the thing. <http://richard.cyganiak.de/> a foaf:Document; dc:title "Richard Cyganiak's homepage"; a foaf:Person; foaf:name "Richard Cyganiak"; owl:sameAs <http://twitter.com/cygri>; . I don't think that this is covered by any of the scenarios in Jonathan's document at: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/awwsw/issue57/20110531/ In particular, I don't think the kind of 'punning' that we talked about (where different properties treat the given resource as being different kinds of thing) copes with the rdf:type property (shortened to 'a' in the Turtle) having two different values. Similarly, it's really unclear in the above example whether the owl:sameAs relates to the Person or the Document (until you find a description of <http://twitter.com/cygri>, which of course might be a resource that is both a Document and a Person itself). Cheers, Jeni -- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com
