Good point you raised here. This is why I am having so much trouble with the
meta-data vs data stuff more precisely in the case when the URI is an
xpointer referring to a document fragment. I may provide some RDF triple
about a document fragment which by the way is a representation of a blob.
However, the RDF is about a fragment of that representation; classical
problem in knowledge representation but annoying in the resource vs data
issue. So its not as clear cut as it seems to be.
