<phayes@ai.uwf.edu>, <me@aaronsw.com> Apropos the discussion of
URI vs. URIviews:  Clearly the RDF community intends to identify
<rdf:resource>s by URI  On the other hand RFC 2396 identifies
<rfc2396:resource>s by URIs. The status of what a fragment
identifier identifies is a bit unclear from the documents and
practice. We have submitted an internet draft which attempts to
clarify this.   This is an early draft, and needs to be cleaned
up a bit but is presented for discussion.  To summarize:  On the
HTML/HTTP web, a URI reference is resolved to a fragment of a
document by the following process:  1. URI part sent to HTTP
server 2. HTTP server maps _resource_ identified by URI onto
document representation which is called an _entity_ 3. Entity
returned to client. 4. Client parses entity, and uses fragment
identifier to obtain piece of document for display.
