Comments on Model WD of 2015-10-15: Terminology

• In the intro part, e.g., in 1.2, it may worth describing the terminology/editorial practice used for each concept, ie, what the various columns in the table are used for. Ie, the 'term' as used in JSON-LD, the type of the term, and the URI as used in the official vocabulary, ie, in RDF.

• Actually, under the column 'Type', I presume what you call a 'Relationship' is what RDF calls an object property, and 'Property' is a data property. It may be worth describing those, too, in the terminology section, because it is not really clear. (And making a reference to the precise RDF terminology for the RDF people among us.)

• I wonder whether it is not better to add a definition for what a Web Resource is.  Surprisingly, there is no such definition around, I believe even Fielding's PhD talks of Resources only. In the DPUB IG we recently had to provide a definition[1], and this is what we use:

 • "A Web Resource is a digital resource that can be uniquely addressed by a Unified Resource Identifier (URI)[URI], and whose content can be accessed through standard network protocols like HTTP, FTP, or the File Protocol (i.e., based on the File URI Scheme[file-uri-scheme])"

Also, systematically capitalizing the (Web) Resource in the text may make it clear that we are referring to something specific.
