Hi,

To throw out some, perhaps simpler, definitions into the mix that I 
think follow along the lines of what's being discussed.

Resource - something that can be identified

Snapshot - the state of a resource at particular point in time

In the Data Journalism Scenario: a 'resource' would be the web page. a 
'snapshot' would be the web page before publication.

cheers,
Paul

Note: Similar concepts are found within many provenance models that I 
know of....if it's helpful I can list those out
