However, I think you are thinking in the right direction - I am
resigning myself to just using the word 'description'.
Q: In your definition, can *descriptions *be put* * into 1:1 correspondence
with records (where a record is a atomic asserted set of propositions about
a resource)?
Yes, I realize that you were asking Richard, but I'm a bit forward, as
we know. I do NOT see a description as atomic in the sense that a
record is atomic. A record has rigid walls, a description has
permeable ones. A description always has the POTENTIAL to have a bit
of unexpected data added; a record cuts off that possibility.
That said, I am curious about the permeability of the edges of a named
graph. I don't know their degree of rigidity in terms of properties
allowed.
