RDF Issue rdfms-resource-semantics from Brian McBride on 2001-11-12 (www-rdf-comments@w3.org from October to December 2001) (original) (raw)

Jonas,

In

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/1999Nov/0106.html

you raised an issue with the RDF model and syntax specification which was recorded in

http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-resource-semantics

as

RDF describes resources. However, neither the concept of resource, nor how it relates to other concepts such as URI and entity, are precisely defined.

On 9th November 2001, as recorded in

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2001Nov/0294.html

the RDFCore WG resolved

The WG closes rdfms-resource-semantics on the grounds that the model theory says all that RDF is normatively going to say about the nature of resources. Further specification of the nature of resources is the work of other WG's.

Please can you reply to this message, copying www-rdf-comments@w3.org indicating whether this is a satisfactory resolution of this issue.

Brian McBride RDFCore co-chair
