Labels should be resources so that they can be the subjects of 
statements. In general, anything that is a valid subject of discourse 
and that may participate in a relationship to other subjects of 
discourse should be resources (conceptually, such things are really 
classes). If labels are modeled as resources, then we can annotate 
labels to other entities.
