entities vs. resources

I quote the HTTP/1.1 draft. sec. 1.3

resource
A network data objecxt or service that can be identified by a URI, as
defined in section 3.2. Resources may be available in multiple
representation (e.g., multiple languages, data formats, size, resolutions)
or vary in other ways.

entity
The information trnsferred as the payload of a request or response. An
entity consists of meta-information in the the form of entity-header fields
and content in the form of an entity-body, as described in section 7.
