Hi all,
This thread seems to me to be classic "neat vs. scruffy" argument [1]. I used
to be a neat, when I was young, foolish and of course selfish. Now that I am old enough
to see others' points of view, I have become scruffy. Either that, or I'm just tired of
trying to force others to do things my way.
The Web is a scruffy place and that is a feature, not a bug.
Regards,
Dave

BUT when the click a "Like" button on a blog they are expressing they like the

And on Amazon people say "I found this review useful" to
like the review on the product being reviewed, separately from
rating the product.
So there is a lot of use out there which involves people expressing
stuff in general about the message not its subject.
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.
