Abstract

This paper proposes a new definition on names, addresses, identifiers, and locators based on a different framework. Starting with observation of the patterns how those terms are used, a new definition for the terms and their relations are presented. First, name and address are defined based on assignment, where a name denotes an entity itself, and an address denotes a point to which the entity is attached. On the other hand, identifier is used for locating an entity within a given space. Next, the relationship among those four terms is presented. Finally, we show how communication is performed with respect to the new definition.
