That is a Web tax, not an RDF tax. A representation is just that - 
it won't have a URI unless you give it one. Only the thing it 
represents will have a URI by default. You will want to give the 
representation a URI to make it a resource, or make the 
representation a Literal property value of the resource it represents.
