This is a revised resource model diagram. I have removed the confusing service model aspect of discovery, and added in agents using discovery services to discover resources. It does not seem to be necessary to add publishing, but I am open to that. I have added in that resources may have representations. I realize that services may not have useful representations, but other resources do. I have also tied in a resource's URI to the resource description: i.e., its not a description of the resource if it does not identify it. This is potentially controversial - it disallows descriptions of the form: all resources which are colored red. A person who owns a resource also set policy on it. That policy may be linked to from the description. Again, there may be others who *also* set policies on resources (the hosting agency for example). Let me know comments. Failing a negative response, I will draft text that fleshes this out. Frank
