I can't vouch for what the OP really meant by that, but I suspect that
it points to identification as URI's inside OWL locators, which can be
rather ambigous as you don't know whether you're talking about the
URI, using the URI as identifier, or the URI points to an identifier.
And as far as my memory goes, RDF supports only one identifyer per
node. In Topic Maps there are two (or three, depending on where you
draw the line) ways to identify things in the "world out there", and
you can have as many as you need, and Robert Barta explains it well;
