The point there is, does the URI refer to something like a representation (information resource, website, document, RDF graph, whatever) or something which definitely canNOT be sent over a wire? The Referent of a URI re., http-range-14 is the observation (or description) subject. In this context the subject may or may not be a real world object or entity. In the context of Linked Data, the observation (or description) subject URI resolves to a Representation of its Referent. Actual representation is accessible via an Address. Data representation formats are *optionally* negotiable e.g., via content negotiation, and ultimately varied i.e., many serialization formats for byte stream that actually transmits data from its source to its consumers. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen President& CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca: kidehen
