As an additional point, a review_is_ a seperate thing, it's not a web
page. It is often contained within a webpage. It seems you are
conflating the two here. Reviews and comments can be and often are
syndicated across multiple sites so clearly any "liking" of the review
needs to flow with it.
Yes, it is a separate thing representable as a Data Object. Now the
obvious question: what is a Web Page? Isn't that a sourced from Data at
an Address that's streamed to a client that uses a specific data
presentation metaphor as basis for user comprehension?
Are the following identical or different, re. URI functionality ?
1. http://dbpedia.org/resource/Linked_Data
2. http://dbpedia.org/page/Linked_Data
3. http://dbpedia.org/data/Linked_Data.json .
I may want to bookmark: http://dbpedia.org/page/Linked_Data, I may also
be interested in its evolution over time via services lime memento [1] .
The thing is that re. WWW we have an Information Space dimension and
associated patterns that's preceded the Data Space dimension and
emerging patterns that we (this community) are collectively trying to
crystallize, in an unobtrusive manner.
