Subject: [tm-pubsubj-comment] Comments from Dave Beckett
Dave Beckett is editor of some of the RDF specifications, so this is really good. His comments are spot-on, too. <URL: http://rdfig.xmlhack.com/2003/03/13/2003-03-13.html > I think the draft should be *very* careful when using the term "resource". SAM consistently says "information resource", and defines it to be a (potentially) network-retrievable resource. I think this document should follow suit to avoid the problem that RFC 2396 defines "resource" to essentially be equivalent to "subject". RDF people are going to be seriously confused if we don't do this, I think. -- Lars Marius Garshol, Ontopian <URL: http://www.ontopia.net > GSM: +47 98 21 55 50 <URL: http://www.garshol.priv.no > ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl> Received: (qmail 2361 invoked by uid 60881); 20 Mar 2003 00:25:45 -0000 Received: from em@w3.org by hermes by uid 0 with qmail-scanner-1.15 (spamassassin: 2.43.

The issue addressed was one of the "stumbling blocks" I ran into as well as I (slowly) have been reviewing this work. It took me a bit to swap in the appropriate context. To the extent this group can minimize the necessary "context swap" that is required from various communities (RDF, librarians, taxonomists, etc.) that have been targeted to review this work, the better. -- eric miller http://www.w3.org/people/em/ semantic web activity lead http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ w3c world wide web consortium http://www.w3.org/
