sbp: Contains a number of interesting points, including the fact that the Semantic Web must be able to handle representations with no associated URI, that HTTP URIs are indirect identifiers by their very nature and are often used indirectly for other purposes in different "contexts" (e.g. to identify representations stored in a cache, used as unique stamps on a car, or in xmlns attributes in XML)
sbp: and also that's Roy's Web page does not identify Roy. But note: "Mark Baker has argued in the past that an http URI does identify him, but I think that is reasonable since he owns the naming authority."
 
sbp: Discusses OWL a bit, and provides some background information about the Semantic Web
