I'll offer the comment, not in contradistinction to what is said here but, instead, as an expansion to these thoughts, that the TMRA opens the door to <i>sets</i> of subject identity properties, where each <i>set</i> can represent absolute subject identity in those terms appropriate to some specific conditions, say, those of some tribe, klan, organization, or individual. Certainly, in a general case, as stated here, <i>individual subject...is best represented as a blank node bearing all kinds of </i>identified<i> properties, but none of them conferring</i> absolute <i>identity.</i>. If we consider the availability of <i>sets</i> of identity properties available to different applications, we remain available for merging rules as stated here, while, at the same time, we craft knowledge systems that are self-documenting in the sense that different approaches to subject identity are placed on the table in full view of all who would use such systems.<br /><br />Overall, <i>subjects as blank nodes</i> conjures nice images. Here, I am thinking in terms of the topic maps <i>subjects of discussion</i>. I visualize the subject proxy, equivalent to the XML topic maps "topic" tag, as a kind of container that, itself, is only identified in terms of its location in some database; the subject, represented by various property objects it contains, must be provided identity properties according to the author(s). The days of name-based subject identity have ended; the TMRA facilitates inclusion of as many different identity properties as authors require to unambiguously identify their subjects.jackparkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431976953832017469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979481.post-48426907282354454142007-01-03T17:48:00.000+01:002007-01-03T17:48:00.000+01:00Web identification is an interesting and important topic. With the evolution of World Wide Web, gradually it becomes more essential than ever. Look forward to watching more opinions from you. Also, welcome to have chats later on this topic if you would like.Yihong Dinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08410466834942147505noreply@blogger.com
