Roger,

I don't believe a document about "net worth" and what the term "net 
worth" denotes are one an the same, hence my suggestion about entity 
depictions. Naturally, I need a medium (e.g., a Web Document, Paper 
Document etc.) through which I perceive your "net worth" but that 
doesn't make the aforementioned perception medium (i.e., Document) the 
signifier (i.e., identifier) of your net worth.

The eternal issue is that the perception medium (so called "information 
resource") and the signification mechanism (identifier) continue to be 
conflated.
