I feel like I'm stuck in a class discussion in Philosophy 101 discussing empiricism, having a great time talking about the true nature of naming, but not getting anywhere fast. Discuss: "Are two Resources that are Identified by Different Identifiers the Same Resource?" Class reading: http://setis.library.usyd.edu.au/stanford/archives/win1997/entries/frege/ http://www.ditext.com/quine/quine.html http://www.uniroma3.it/kant/field/mbit.htm Now, this is a lot of fun, but we don't really need to reinvent all of the arguments of the last 100 years or so of epistemology, do we? Are there any practical considerations left besides deciding whether we should 'disallow', 'deprecate' or 'define' the use of relative URIs in namespace names? Once you strip away all of the philosophical? Larry -- http://larry.masinter.net
