To my mind a resource is a resource. If it has a URI it is a resource, and it is
the same resource whatever technology is using the URI (otherwise the U and I
don't hold).

The difference between the web and semantic web layer is whether having *any*
understanding of what that resource is an AI-complete problem or not.

Can't say that I favour "pumpkin" ;)
