> so long as it's URI resolvable by http It doesn’t have to be. URI is a pretty broad concept and URLs are just a subset. It’s perfectly fine to identify an entity with other URIs that are not URLs. If for instance you’re talking about a book then you could use the ISBN for instance “ urn:isbn:0-486-27557-4” The usefulness of using resolvable URL’s as URIs is just that if you have absolutely no knowledge about the resource except it’s URI, and that URI happens to be a resolvable URL, then at least you know where to go looking to find out more. |
