It's time we gave proper identifers to all the good ideas we've had over the years. Aaron Swartz inquired, on 17 Sep 2000 about the following little idea I jotted down in 1997:
--addressing
- the "me llamo" link
- idea: a link type where a document says "I call myself X". In combination with a back-link service, it's a nifty URN idea.

Here's an RDF schema for it, i.e. a home for it in the semantic web:
for me_llamo(thing, name) read: thing calls itself name; e.g. a W3C tech report bears its identifier on the title page. This is a subproperty of dublin core identifier (@@HyperRDF TODO). Note that the object of such a satement is a string, ala "I call myself 'Dan'." not the resource identified by the name, ala "I am Dan." cf Interpretation properties. In terms of Communication Protocol Semantics, you can conclude me_llamo(x, n) from hasAnswer(q, a), subject(a, x), entails(a, s), subject(s, x), object(s, n), predicate(s, me_llamo). That is: if a message shows that a resource calls itself N, then it calls itself N.
an absolute URI with optional fragment identifier. This is a literal; e.g. "http://www.w3.org" or data:,http://www.w3.org/ (@@cite URI rfc etc.) (@@need to tell www-rdf-interest about this idea of importing literals into URI space using the data: scheme)
