Subject: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Revised resource diagram
Duane: This is what I thought navigability meant. However, it is not the case that you can, in general, find the owner of a resource if all you can do is inspect the resource itself. E.g., unless *every* description was mandated to contain a signal that identified the owner of the description, you would have to search the context where you found the description to determine the description's owner (e.g., by looking at the owner of the registry entry).
