 If it embeds the authority, there are two pieces of information there and how to reconcile which is in effect or both is still a processing issue. You are saying that there is no RDF System specification and that interoperability of such systems is left to the vendors to imagine. Once again, given the rules of the game, the biggest vendor wins. If the vendor chooses not to support it, the Semantic Web based on RDF processing collapses or remains a niche. Ok. Being silent about such things (is outside the scope of RDF) is proving as it did in XML Namespaces to be a naive approach to specifications. I understand what you are saying, but as we learned in SGML, it just postpones work to be done elsewhere and engenders non interoperable systems. Data is portable. Systems interoperate. len From: Bill de hOra [mailto:dehora@e...] That's to misunderstand RDF (or give it too much credit, take your pick). URIs are handy because we can create new unique ones with minimal centralization and fuss. In RDF they're just globals, are opaque, and in that respect there is no choice. Provenance is an important use case for RDF. Dereferencing URI refs for more information is outside the scope of RDF. There isn't an 'official' processing model for RDF, its standardization to date has been careful to avoid talking about processing, beyond what entailments can be made via the model theory and the minimal amount of things you say or imply when specifying serialization syntaxes like the XML.
