Re: [xml-dev] XML vocabulary for expressing constraints?
Hi Liam,
Please explain this too me. I've been thinking that an address can have either semantic meaning, as in an RDF triple, or identify a resource, a representation of which might ideally contain links to semantic information (such as using RDFa) charaterising the content. An inside looking out vs an outside looking in (via topic maps) contrast I guess is your point?On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at 2:32 PM, Liam R E Quin <[email protected]> wrote:

I don't believe that "HTTP Range" cuts it, as putting # on the end of a
URI is not out-of-band, and still only gives two options (the resource
itself or the resource as a surrogate).
At one time I hoped topic maps would give us more of this.
