Re: A certain difficulty
Amen, Bro. Birbeck!

May I add that RDF predication is the only mechanism we have for defining
process (i.e., verbs, acting upon identified resources) in a Web-exchangeable
way. If the 'semantic web' is about anything, it is about the exchange or
communication of relationships or processes which turn out to be most
efficiently defined by RDF triples. The *implementation* of those processes in,
ultimately, running code, may have to be done in a different, idiosyncratic
manner at each node, based on each node's unique role and point of view, but
RDF-described resources supply the 'standard' definition which provides the
semantic nexus of those nodes.

Respectfully,

Walter Perry
