So... are there identifiable 'things' that aren't 'resources'? (do you
mean the Literals?). The RDFS design on this pretty much followed from the RDF
Model claim that we inhabit the Web's world of URI-nameable resources...

Could you say something about what you'd count as a non-resource 'thing'?
(or is it a concern that we've coupled the RDF terms to concepts
defined, and argued about, elsewhere...?)
