Dear Michael and David, (01)
When a URI references a "definition" of a term,
there is still a huge gap between whatever is
stored as the "definition" and what the average
person of skill in the art under discussion thinks
of as "meaning" so I think David's point about the
huge variability in interpretations is still
completely valid. (02)
If I define a "shoe" to be a "brake part", there
will still be people who justifiably think it has
laces or rubber soles or is made by Nike. Meaning
can't be so quickly disposed of by a quick
sentence hidden at an obscure URI. I think this
use of a URI to encode definitions is a good one,
but let us not overemphasize it as a way to make
meanings clear or unambiguous. It doesn’t
accomplish that, IMHO. (03)

Rich Cooper

John was talking about OWL ontologies where the
terms are URIs and the
definitions are rdfs:comment's of these URIs that
can be found by
dereferencing them. (09)
Of course, different people may interpret those
definitions differently but
there is only one definition behind the URI and
the margin for interpretation
of the definition usually suits the application
scope the ontology was
designed for. (010)
