GWicke added a comment.

I think we have several concepts there that needs to be refined.

  1. Canonical object URI - this is the URI that uniquely identifies an object in Wikimedia world, and, by extension, in the whole world of linked data.

I think there is a spectrum here between reserving the object domain only for abstract concepts & treating most things as representations, and making some of those representations first-class objects, related to the underlying concept via an is-representation-of edge. For addressable resources in the REST sense, I think that usability concerns should play a prominent role in finding the right balance between URLs and headers. For example, I don't think that using a single URL for all resources related to the concept of "Barack Obama" would make a lot of sense to API users.
