URI Declaration for the Moon

Author: David Booth david@dbooth.org

Editorial note: This is a URI declaration page. It provides a declaration for the URI "http://dbooth.org/2007/moon/", which becomes a name for the moon. Because the moon is not an information resource, an attempt to dereference that URI will result in a 303 redirect to this page.

The purpose of this page is to illustrate the difference between a URI declaration, and regular assertions about a resource -- in this case the moon.

For more explanation, see URI Declaration Versus Use.

Statement M1: The URI "http://dbooth.org/2007/moon/" hereby names a particular resource, such that:
    a: http://dbooth.org/2007/moon/ is a moon.
    b: http://dbooth.org/2007/moon/ orbits the Earth.
    c: http://dbooth.org/2007/moon/ may have ancillary assertions at http://dbooth.org/2007/moon/about.html .

Editorial note: Statement M1 above is a URI declaration for "http://dbooth.org/2007/moon/".
