I'm curious (since you say this is motivated by the REST abstraction and
there is a similar distinction made in the Uniform HTTP Protocol draft), how
does this differ from the notion of 'RDF knowledge' [1] which is an
information resource identified by the graph IRI of a named graph and is
represented by an RDF document, which serializes that named graph? Can it be
considered a generalization of this concept (to more than just named graphs)
or is it something different?
