| | In section 3.4.1 Identifying subjects, could you give me=20
| some exemples? It
| | would help.
|=20
| The new committee draft will have the following example:
|=20
|   Consider the URI http://www.topicmaps.org. If given as the subject
|   locator of topic A this would mean that topic A represents the
|   information resource identified by this URI. However, using it as
|   the subject identifier of topic B would mean that B represents what
|   is described in that information resource. At the time of writing
|   this would seem to be the organization known as
|   TopicMaps.Org. (Note: the organization; the real-world institution
|   known by that name. This is different from the subject of A, which
|   is the web page itself.)
|  =20
|   Note the uncertainty in the last sentence above. The information
|   resource in question is a subject indicator for topic B, but it was
|   not written to be a subject indicator (that is, it is not a
|   published subject indicator), and so is not entirely unambiguous
|   with respect to what subject it indicates. Nor is it guaranteed to
|   be stable, so at the time of reading it may indicate some other
|   subject, or it may no longer exist.
| =20
| Does that help? Feedback on whether the example is useful would be
| very welcome.
