Peter,
you could use URLs like the follwoing
http://www.example.org/persons
to address the list of all persons
http://www.example.org/persons/Joe
to address Joe
http://www.example.org/persons/Joe/Name
to address Joe's name
http://www.example.org/persons/Joe/Age
to address Joe's age
etc.
Content negotiation between server and client could return the various
'entities' in diverse formats, among them "Joe" for
http://www.example.org/persons/Joe/Name
Does that help?
