Hi - I'm new to this whole discussion, and I'm relatively naive so please forgive me if what I'll say sounds terribly stupid. I also apologize in advance if I seem to be reiterating points that have long been settled - again I've just started to watch this forum recently. On Aug 21, 200

What Michel is describing is also known as a 'reverse-indexer' (which is at the heart of Google's fast retrievals). It stores all the reverse references made to any URI X, so that by asking "what is all known about X", a list of all links and annotations to it can be retrieved. Some may recall

Egon, My question (without knowing the true scale of what you had) was simply to see if a mechanism existed that told me "which molecules at OpenMolecules are URI-resolvable as RDF?". I guess having a master list that points to each (your second option) would be easiest to use. ANother way to
