Object ID -- http://graph.facebook.com/672247057#
Object Representation Address (how you actually get at the data): 
http://graph.facebook.com/672247057 .

Courtesy of Linked Data indirection you have two routes to the data. 
Thus, when you use the Object ID (Name) a more powerful abstraction 
kicks in, one that's in line with fundamentals of Object Identity i.e., 
an Object has Identity distinct from its Representation.
