Faces of vocabulary
From ActiveArchives
"The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect — to help people work together — and not as a technical toy.The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world. We clump into families, associations, and companies. We develop trust across the miles and distrust around the corner."
—Tim Berners-Lee, Weaving The Web

Light-Weight Identity™ (LID™)
Example given: Clark and Superman
(or Alice and Bob)
"If we believe in the semanticity of the web, then foaf:Person represents a person. FOAF groups the reporter's contact data as properties of the foaf:Person object representing Clark. How to group the man of steel's contact information, in case we need his help in dealing with the present situation? We can't group it using the object representing the reporter. But: if we group it using a different foaf:Person, we are lying and, more to the point, violating the FOAF specification."
