FWIW In the WHA world of SKiCal, we refrain from using either the terms Thing or Resource. We felt that so many methods had so much trouble with differentiating between description and self-description that we wanted to make clear distinctions. We say that there are things which are identifiable by their description. inversely no description no identification no thing and we call such a thing for a "DIT" (by Description Identifiable Thing) We also give a name to the description of the Thing. A Description Of a Thing, we call a "DOT" Each DOT is obviously also a DIT and somewhere out there in the great unknown there might be a DIT which is not also a DOT. Who knows?
