Problem: the Article and the Document (the resource at the URL) are 
distinct. Think "Book" and "Story in the Book" they are two distinct 
things with different characteristics (properties) that are connected by 
a relation.

For simplicity sake, just at "#this" to the following URLs and then 
reevaluate the model i.e, <http://example.org/index.en.html#this> which 
is the primary resource (a representation of the document which is 
basically a container) associated with a secondary resource (a 
representation of what the document is about). At the current time, your 
modeling discards the container i.e., treats resource "index.html" as 
none existent by describing it using properties of its content.
