I just read through the 28 July minutes [1], and a couple of points came through to me, something like: (1) An "information resource" is a one that returns a representation when one does a GET on its URI. (2) The exact nature of a resource is unknowable, in the sense that it's not possible to fix a single denotation, but for an information resource it is circumscribed by understanding the things that GET returns as representations. This, I think, is the basis of shared understanding in today's (pre semantic) Web. The more different representations there are, the more precisely we might be able to pin down the underlying resource (but never completely). #g -- [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2003Jul/0378.html ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org> PGP: 0FAA 69FF C083 000B A2E9 A131 01B9 1C7A DBCA CB5E
