Paul W. Abrahams scripsit:I don't see that, but perhaps I'm missing something. RDF is all about using metadata -- that is, machine-readable descriptions -- to describe resources on the Web. "It provides interoperability between applications that exchange machine-understandable information on the Web." Suppose (ridiculously) for the sake of argument that the Web had precisely one resource on it and you wanted to write applications that could work with that resource. Wouldn't RDF be very useful for that purpose?> Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was talking about comparing URI1 with URI2.

not determine whether two statements were about the same resource or
not.
Is there a facility in RDF itself for determining whether two statements are about the same resource?
Again, my apologies for my sketchy knowledge of RDF. I really must read that spec carefully.
