Re: Separate concepts for "service" and "targetResource"?

Ugo,

I'm afraid I may have misunderstood somewhere along the line.
I agree with you -- there's no need for two.  The "service" and the
"resource" are practically synonymous.  They have to be, really,
for a URI to identify a service, don't they?

identifying the WSD loan service. What does a second URI buy her?
