They come from the Semantic Web presentation done at the face-to-face
meeting[1].

At our level, what it means is that we would require new technologies
that we would identify to:
- have all conceptual elements addressable directly via a URI
  reference.
- provide a normative mapping to RDF.

Rereading D-AR009.2, I realize that it isn't right. I think that Eric
meant:

  New technologies identified in the architecture must include a
  normative mapping between all XML technologies and RDF/XML.
