Hmm. I didn't intend it to be limited in that way. I did mean 
arbitrary resource. I'm trying to say that in the context of  
semantic web statements, URIs are vocabulary terms used to denote 
arbitrary resources. 

So how about this:
What is the minimum, denotative content that can be returned by 
a WWW processes in response to a URI that is also used as a name in 
some semantic web statement to denote an arbitrary resource.

Also, there is a redundancy in the phrase "most valuable, 
denotative". Denotative *is* the value. However "denotative"
is needed or else the minimum could be none. In fact, for the 
same reason, I think it is also needed in the name. How about 
"Bounded Denotative Descriptions"? Except that I have included 
some representations, such as Web Proper Names. Since descriptions 
are a type (textual) of representations, the best may be "Bounded 
Denotative Representations".
