I tried to avoid the term "partial resource" because there is no such thing. When you get a resource, you get the full thing. When you add the selective properties stuff to a resource URL you get another resource (different URL means different resource) that is related to the first, but that has subset of its properties.
I think this sentence could be improved: "OSLC services MAY support a technique called Selective Properties to enable clients to retrieve only selected property values." What if we said instead: "retrieve only the values of selected properties"? Would that help?
