- One can uniquely identify all resources on the web
- Uniqueness is vital to make consistent statements
-
Anybody can create metadata on any resource on the Web
- e.g., the same SVG file could be annotated through other terms
- It becomes easy to merge metadata
- e.g., applications may merge the SVG annotations
- this can be done because they refer to the same URI-s!
-
URI-s ground RDF into the Web
- e.g., information can be retrieved using existing tools
