Fine... but for the sake of argument, let's talk about the resource for the band most people call "The Beatles". >> If not, what would you choose as the literal. > i.e., just set up a proprietary URI for it, and hang some RDFS stuff > off of it. Yes, but this doesn't answer the question -- what's the literal? That is -- if I say the author is the resource I describe above and my system needed a text string to represent the author, what should it use? I'd argue "The Beatles" would be the best.
