In RDF, a resource is an entity in the world (or maybe not in the world). RDF resources can be much more than nodes in an RDF graph. Saying that an RDF resource satisfies a shape/constraint/description is very different from saying that a node in an RDF graph satisfies a shape/constraint/description. If we are talking about resources, we might say that Dick Cheney matches the shape/constraint/description unrepentant. If we are talking about nodes, we might say that the node ex:dc in ex:dc ex:bar 1 . matches the shape/constraint/description exactly one ex:bar and all ex:bar integer. As this is the *RDF* data shapes working group, I would object if we did not use RDF terminology in the correct way. This means that I would object if any document from the working group used resource in other than its RDF meaning. Peter F. Patel-Schneider Nuance Communications
