Now you can use <#x> to identify it. Dereference it, and you might be able to process the Schema. If you can, then great, if not, then you still have another identifier for the battle of Jutland. It's all about closed world systems - there is no such thing as a fully interoperable database of knowledge, but that won't stop us from making decent specialized SW applications. > Many (most?) of the things we'll want to describe in a data-based > Web -- ideas, historical people/places/things, etc. -- don't even have that. I'm intregued as to what people think the "answer" is in the great name debate. I still assert the position whereby data only matters in closed systems, and to that end, the SW will be fragmented - but at least it can work. There is no such thing as a global interchange format for data: the whole world isn't going to be using XML RDF in 5 years time. But people that are using the same syntax, and sharing knowledge dereferencable at the end of some URL are going to have a good time with it. -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
