Whether it's harmful or not - has anyone actually given a reason for wanting to do this? Sorry if this is a really obvious question - I haven't read every single post in this (very long) thread and maybe this has already been explained somewhere. When I first started playing with rdf I used to use the http scheme to identify _all_ resources - all I can say is that this added much confusion - especially whenever I wanted to discuss my work with colleagues. Now I only identify resources that are actually http dereferencable with the http scheme - and I can't say as I've lost anything (except some confusion of course). -- Murray Spork Centre for Information Technology Innovation (CITI) The Redcone Project Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia Phone: +61-7-3864-9488 Email: m.spork@q...
