If the description is important enough to be its own resource then it could get a new URI. If you really, really want to reify ALL representations in one fell swoop then you could do that at the RDF or topic map level. >... > The resource has a URI. Each representation of the resource > is also a resource and has a different URI, etc. If a "representation" is a "resource" then you are not using the word representation in the HTTP/URI sense. But that representation (in your sense) can have a representation (in the HTTP/URI sense) that you GET by dereferencing its URI (which must be distinct from the original resource's URI). Paul Prescod
