¥It is important to distinguish
two different relationships between a name and a thing.
¥ÔaccessesÕ, meaning
that the name provides a causal pathway to the thing, mediated by the Web.
¥ÔdenotesÕ or Ôrefers
toÕ, meaning that the name is being used to mention the thing.
¥WebArch uses ÔidentifiesÕ to mean
both or either of these, apparently in the belief that they are synonyms. But they are not, and to think of them as
being the same is to be profoundly confused. A great deal of the muddle we now
find ourselves in can be directly traced to this confusion.
