- On the SW, resources are identified by URI-s, e.g.:
- URL-s
- http://www.ivan-herman.net
- ftp://ftp.cwi.nl
- URN-s
- urn:ISBN:0-395-36341-1
- urn:lsid:ensembl.org:homosapiens_gene:ensg00000002016
- URL-s
- Anybody can create metadata on any resource on the Web
- It becomes easy to merge metadata
- URI-s ground RDF into the Web
