Slightly off topic, and at the risk of being wrong again (!): a
property *is* a resource, it is not represented by a resource
(although in some reified case it could be). "Resource" just means
"thing" or "object in domain of discourse". The
property/thing/resource is named/identified by a URI/URI-Ref.
(the same holds for classes, etc.)
(I'm also not on the WG or anything. I think the people on the WG are
far too busy to participate. :-)
