Cf. the entry for "Use" in http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#gloss, and throughout that document. The word "Represent" is used (and dictionary-defined: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/represent) in many ways, covering both aspects of both denotation and description, so I think it is a poor word to use in these discussions. #g --
