Hi David, long time no see... > The reason you can't "just" use the short one everywhere is that they > are not globally unique (being the whole point). But why should it be globally unique ? Is a 'my-pluign.ttl' supposed to have any meaning outside the context it is normally used in ? I can't help but having the impression (which may be completely wrong) that all these ontologies and the way they refer to each other are somehow supposed to create 'meaning' out of nothing. Which I think is an illusion - and a far more dangerous one than the one I referred to earlier. Reading all the ontologies that relate to e.g. LV2, the only reason why I can understand and use them is because, being a audio engineer and a programmer, I know what a 'plugin', 'host', 'port', etc. are. Without that knowledge, there would be no meaning. And of course one could add more and more and maybe even be able to somehow define 'plugin' while only referring to much more general concepts. But at the lowest level one would always have to refer to something that can understood just by itself.
