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; http://topicmaps.bond.edu.au/docs/21/toc Alex -- "Ultimately, all things are known because you want to believe you know." - Frank Herbert __ http://shelter.nu/ __________________________________________________ ------------------------ Yahoo!
