OK, we differ here then. I would prefer to bookmark the movie because
that's what I'm interested in.
Yes, and you have that right as an individual using the Web. Same
applies to those that want to bookmark a Page about the Movie. Thus, the
eternal challenge remains: how does a system inherently cater for
natural variations inherent in individuals. This is where AWWW scores
big time re. Web as a Global Space for Information and Data :-)
The page will change over the years but
the movie will still persist.
Yes, and I may be interested in understanding the evolution of the page
over the years. The Page is as valid a Data Object as its Subject
Matter. This is the crux of the matter. The system has to handle our
individuality, as per earlier comment.
Today you have no choice because your
conceptual model does not give a URI to the movie and doesn't see the
need to generate 2 URIs.
Today, we don't have the options in question because a majority of Web
users are still only utilizing its Information Space dimension.
