RE: resources and URIs

Nicely vague but operationally meaningless and that is 
what a lot of people are having problems with.  Saying 
a resource is the side of the bus that the URI is printed 
on plus anything else printed there, or that a Ford Galaxy 
or a Ford Falcon are resources 'on the web' makes the 
web equal to the knowable universe.

That buys us exactly nothing at the cost of Boltzman entropy.

I don't see how these definitions can possibly help, but I think
they're consistent and I think I believe them.

resource = anything at all: real, imaginary, conceptual, fantastical, or
mundane
