Thomas - I take your point about compete vs. incomplete description with respect to "RDF representation", but I'm not using it in that context, but rather in the context of: if you dereference a web resource, you get a representation of that resource; there may be many representations, one of which may be RDF. NOT to imply that that representation is complete.

Clearly there is confusion over "resource" - web resource, information resource, RDF resource. I'm not sure it's useful to sort through it all, as some of these definition have historical significance only. So let's try to break this down without talking about resources.

An RDF property may be a datatype property or an object property. A datatype property takes a literal for its object (Quotes). An object property takes an "individual" for its object (braces). "Individual" as in, a member of an RDF class. An individual always has an RDF description (or in your terminology, you can always make an RDF statement about it).

Do you agree?

Ray
