In the worst case it causes: (a) extra hassle in allocating two URIs for each resource -- one for the resource and one for the web page *about* the resource; (b) some consternation among practitioners about why they need to bother with that; and (c) and an extra HTTP request. But I think it amounts to bending over backward to conform to a flaw in the AWWW, in the way "information resource" is described (by saying that some things *are* *not* information resources, rather than saying that some things *should* not be modeled as information resources, because doing so is likely to cause unwanted ambiguity). -- David Booth, Ph.D. Cleveland Clinic (contractor) Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Cleveland Clinic.
