Here's my thinking: The whole point of the semantic web is to get away from
relying on terms. Why would you intentionally want to become dependent upon
labels (terms)?
Label's are not identifiers; they are annotations. There is no uniqueness
guarantee. A concept can have many labels and many co
I agree with Chime points. I will add that the great missing feature or
tool is versioning and depreciation handling.
I had a customer see a GUID URI once and freak out and almost drop a
contract. Readability and maintainability is important. Enforcing
uniqueness in literals is not part of the
I tend to believe that "Perfect is the Enemy of Good".
It seems that everyone agrees at some point you need semantic identifiers.
Look at the RDF, RDFS, and OWL standards. They don't use non-semantic
identifiers (alphanumeric/guids) for core Classes and Predicates. The

It is a burden to carry this prefix file and maintain it, but its better
than not being able to do anything about it.

It is a fascinating architecture. What particularly drew me in is the
multiple different evidence spaces they had to use. And that they made at
least a token mention to the power of utilizing structured knowledge to
enhance statistical methods.

Well it seems like a utopian model, but at the same time in academics you
are judged on your papers and grants. So without some exclusivity it is
difficult for academics to cope.
Obviously with a study that couldn't be done without a great deal of cash,
collaborations are vital...but as much as
