To quote Sir Tim on the subject of identifiers [http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html
]:
Use URIs as names for things
Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names.
When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the
standards (RDF, SPARQL)
Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover more things.
