It holds a URI that resolves to a document bearing content that describes the URIs referent. For example, this document could be comprised of a machine-readable entity->attribute->value or subject->predicate->object based relations. An end-user application (including browser extensions or plugins) will set the value. A server will make use of these values e.g., looking up the URIs to locate the description of the entity denoted (named) by the URI. It can then use this description as the basis for ACLs and sophisticated data access policies which are all driven by logic.
