"A resource is a source of supply or support within the context of a given system." -- http://www.apache.org/~fielding/uri/rev-2002/rfc2396bis.html#rfc.section.1.1 That doesn't appeal to me. The dc:title property doesn't seem to match that definition very well. I still prefer the text from Hayes on 23 Apr: "This document specifies the syntax of URIs, which are a form of global identifier used in Web protocols and languages. Particular uses of URIs, and their intended meanings in various contexts, are described in other specifications. In general, the entities referred to or identified by URIs when used in Web contexts are called "resources"., but this document does not specify the nature of resources or to restrict resources to any particular category of entities." -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
