Hi Kingsley,

I have a few questions. See below.

Would you agree that Facebook are the owners of this URI?

Would you agree that the owner of a URI gets to decide what it identifies?

Would you agree that a good URI is one where the URI owner has explicitly 
communicated (ideally through its representations) what it identifies?

If I wanted to state, using Facebook URIs, that I know you, would you expect me 
to do this:

    <http://graph.facebook.com/richard.cyganiak#this>
        foaf:knows <http://graph.facebook.com/kidehen#this>.

or this:

    <http://graph.facebook.com/richard.cyganiak>
        foaf:knows <http://graph.facebook.com/kidehen>.

?

Thanks,
Richard
