The WebArch does not have more to say about people. That is why the definition of "information resource" should be corrected to be clear that an "information resource" is a thingy that can emit HTTP 200 response codes with bit strings that the WebArch calls "representations".[1] 1. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2007Oct/0025.html David Booth, Ph.D. HP Software +1 617 629 8881 office | dbooth@hp.com http://www.hp.com/go/software Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not represent the official views of HP unless explicitly stated otherwise.
