We have the following in play, but never easily discernible from Semantic Web and Linked Data narratives: 1. A Document (a Resource) -- bears representations of whatever 2. A Descriptor Document (a subClassOf Document) -- specifically bears representation of the description of an unambiguously named subject 3. An unambiguously named subject or entity . The term "Resource" continues to be used carelessly and the net effect is utter confusion :-( When reading Semantic Web (and even Linked Data literature) it's very easy for the untrained eye to assume 1-3 are Web resources. The subject of a description may or may not be a Web realm entity. Its just something that's caught the interest of an author (creator) of a description documentation. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder& CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
