I don't know what is the "right" word. Just present a use-case that Different name can get the SAME description returned. For instance, I can lumped all the information about my family members in just one document. Then, when the name of different family members are dereferenced, the same description (i.e., information document) will be returned. So, the description is not necessarily OF the thing identified. It only needs to contain something about the thing identified, right? Xiaoshu
