One problem with URIs in the linked data community is coreferencing.
Time and again new URIs are generated for things (individuals, classes,
relations) for which URIs already exist. (03)

The triple model does not restrict the initial term ("entity") to be an
individual, which the word here somewhat suggests. Nor need the
"value" term be narrowly restricted".

Hyperdata also does not have to be restricted to triples:

Maybe subject-verb-object* would be a better description. (05)

I suggest emphasizing the use of URIs from standard predefined ontologies
and term sets as much as possible. Much of what one wants to
refer to already has URIs -- in UMLS, SUMO, GeoNames, Gene Ontology,
DBpedia, and Cyc, for example. Individual people who have been active
on the web also are likely to have multiple URIs referencing them already. (07)
