Here is a document:

:mydoc a ex:Document ;
       dc:title "Trick or Treats" ;
       ex:bytes <https://example.org/document/trick-or-treats.odt>.
       
> Saving a note.

Here is a note:

:mynote a ex:Note ;
        dc:title "What's in a note" ;
	ex:content "this is a short note".

Here is a photo collection:

:myphotocollection a ex:PhotoCollection ;
    dc:title "Nicolas' photo collection".

:photo1 a ex:Photo ;
    dc:date "2023-10-31" ;
    dc:description "Me with a phantom mask" ;
    ex:bytes <https://s3.storage.example.com/123abc456def> ;
    ex:partOf :myphotocollection.
    
:photo2 a ex:Photo ;
    dc:date "2023-10-31" ;
    dc:description "Me eating candies" ;
    ex:bytes <file:///~/photos/89/890xyz765opq> ;
    ex:partOf :myphotocollection.
    
:photo3 a ex:Photo ;
    dc:date "2023-10-31" ;
    dc:description "Me running away from zombies" ;
    ex:bytes <urn:mysolidpod:ABC345WhateverIdAllowsToGetItBackSomeway> ;
    ex:partOf :myphotocollection.

You get the idea.

That "everything is a FileSystem containing Documents/Bytes" assertion
does not strike me as obviously truer than "everything is a small
graph and some attributes are pointing to bytes".

Am I missing something ?
