i am guessing it's two worlds colliding. the REST community typically
likes specific media types, so that resources explicitly surface the
models that they represent. it makes resources self-describing *through
their media type*.
RDF, on the other hand, typically only exposes its metamodel and uses
the media type for serialization variants, assuming that saying "it's
RDF" is good enough. this makes resources self-describing *once you
process them*.
cheers,
dret.
