In this case an SI is the same as a URI.

SI: http://www.w3c.org
subject: "the W3C"

URI: http://www.w3c.org
resource: "the W3C"

If this is the case then, yes RDDL uses SIs. Steve Newcomb and I once had a
discussion regarding the difference between a TM: "subject" and an RDF:
"resource". My understanding was roughly that an RDF "resource" encompasses
both a TM: "subject" as well as a "topic".

Perhaps a URI published in a publically available RDDL document, makes a PSI
then? The definitions for these things seem too wiggly for me to have much
confidence in any such assertion however but I am happy if anyone is in an
authoritative position to do so.
