Option 3: Use different words for the different cases. Don't call both of them representations of resources. Option 4: Recognize that a resource can both have a representation of itself and be a reprsentation of another resource, and there's no particular limit to this chain. e.g. a PDF document is a representation of the master document which is a representation of the weather in Oaxaca. Perhaps some things can be both resources and representations simultaneously? Perhaps there's no limit to this? Perhaps's turtles all the way down? :-) -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Processing XML with Java (Addison-Wesley, 2002) http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0201771861/cafeaulaitA
