Your last sentence is what my sentence above says. In http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/uddp-20120229/, an IR is defined as something that has a representation that conveys the essential characteristics of it. We can get rid of the term information resource by putting something like the above statement about representations in the papers - if I am not the only one who thinks that things are easier to understand this way :-) Regards, Michael Brunnbauer -- ++ Michael Brunnbauer ++ netEstate GmbH ++ Geisenhausener Straße 11a ++ 81379 München ++ Tel +49 89 32 19 77 80 ++ Fax +49 89 32 19 77 89 ++ E-Mail [email protected] ++ http://www.netestate.de/ ++ ++ Sitz: München, HRB Nr.142452 (Handelsregister B München) ++ USt-IdNr.
