Re: Another round of subject identity crisis c.2011

Hi Andrew,

Just a quick note to clarify that we have a common understanding about
CTM.

Since you're saying: The topic has the item identifier "#dublin" and
the subject locator "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin" and topic
is an instance of city.

I wonder if you misinterpret the "=" as equal sign à la "My local id
"dublin" represents the same subject as the subject indicator
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin>"?

EQ IRI is simply the notation for subject locators has nothing in
common with an assignment/equals operator.

Best regards,
Lars
