2. Terminology

This section provides definitions for several important terms used in this
document.

Requesting Agent

    The Requesting Agent initiates a request to a Service listening on a
specific port using a given protocol on a given Server.
Server

    A Server is a physical or virtual machine, contactable at a domain name
or IP address, that hosts Services which are accessible over the network.
Service

    A Service is an agent listening for requests at a particular domain
name or IP address on a given Server.
WebID

    A WebID is a URI with an HTTP or HTTPS scheme that denotes an Agent
(Person, Organization, Group, Device, etc.).
WebID Profile Document

    A WebID Profile Document is a machine readable document that uniquely
describes the Agent denoted by the WebID in relation to that WebID. The
server MUST provide machine readable that verifies that URI is an Agent,
and therefore, a WebID.
