Please correct the folowing mistakes in my msg Re above:
1. The URL for the referred paper is not as given by:
>paper http://www.mcg.org.br/trustdef.htm/#A.4.3, the semantic theory
but by http://www.mcg.org.br/trustdef.htm#A.4.3
2. The following phrase:
>
>So, an entity's name can be ambiguous as long as the sense is not
>ambiguous.
should be changed to:
"So, an entity's name can be ambiguous while the sense is not."
Thanks for private postings on this.
I also want to add that the posting (with the corrections above and
some additions) is included in the paper already referred to, in the
Appendix, item 4, question 1.
The following final remarks are also included in the paper:
To finalize, the same thoughts can be clearly applied to any other
situation that needs identification -- for example, routing,
e-commerce, credit-card protocols, rights management, etc. Thus, it
can be applied to DNS addresses for example, allowing WWW sites to be
reached by sense and not by reference. This will be discussed
elsewhere.
Cheers,
Ed
